i will be laughing the first dana30 stub shaft you blow so hard ill have to go take a nap after
Waggy 44s with Chromos will be plenty strong, Toy with Longs plenty strong too.
The stock Scout 44s on Atom never broke a shaft. The spindles fell off, but the shafts were fine.
Eroc is a smart man.
Transaxle might be interesting, lighter and more compact. Driveshafts are where I have issues all the time.
Transaxle is alway in a 4:1ish low range, outputs are large enough, driveshaft adapters are non-existant. Either custom made or welding shit up.
