In short words, Brad, no. The crank in front of the axle gives you more latitude in chain adjustment. This does not apply to mounts that adjust the chain by moving the engine upwards to tighten the chain, but only to mounts that move the engine fore and aft. I'm not crazy about the crank behind the axle, but the Fox karts have the engine behind the axle, and they seem to do fine. TJ
