Maybe the small diameter is causing the grabbing. Anything smaller than 12t is not recommended at certain speeds but for your intermittent use you should be ok. Did you grind the teeth open some?

The servo city sprockets are 10 tooth and the metal sprockets that I modified are 9 tooth and work great. The metal 9 tooth sprockets work so smoothly that I can drape an 8 inch loop of chain over it and run it just hanging there and it runs the chain fine, never grabs at all... The servo city sprockets have tall square teeth and I think that is the problem.

I made a quick vid of the chain drive working. I'll have to make a jig for drilling the track pads because the few that I made aren't consistent enough for my liking.
