Default chain drive

I have not done much to my buggy in the last few months , I been refurbing a Honda 300 down to the frame , getting close to completion on it , this weekend it may be finished and then I am going to start back on the cart -------------- the brake on the Tomberlyn Crossfire 150 is on the right and the chain of the 200 on the left , so that wasn't going to be a problem ------ I did find some very nice , brand new wheels at the flea market for $3 for two which may work out as chain tensioners , they are made out of that nylotron material which is stronger than steel and have 2 sealed roller bearings in them , I am a heavy equipment mechanic and I see a lot of cranes have the nylotron sheeves for the cables and they out last the steel one by a long shot -------- I am thinking about having no adjustment and getting the chain as close as possible , maybe even using a half link then use a wheeled tensioner to take up the remaining slack ,
