Cool. Maybe I can swap my old Mog axles out for a set of these.
Those portals really stick out there. Mogs are tucked in the wheel a whole lot more with very little exposed. Also, it seem like there would be a significant increase in the bending moment on the axle tube, beyond that of a traditional D60 installation.
yea its definatly different. but for some reason something that tall "under" the axle just seems kinda sketchy to me. cool idea, but saying i even had the money for that sort of thing i dont think i would do it.
that's like putting an 8 inch block on the axle tube as far as rotation and spring wrap is concerned. my concern would be that you just gave the tire 8 extra inches of leverage against the knuckle it would be like running a much larger tire than you really are as far as kingpin leverage was or is concerned.
but man look at the diff clearance.
at least it's outside the box thinking
soon someone will take a mog end and attach it to the end of an angled down shaft for even more and it will fit more inside the rim. and run liquid disk brakes inside the cases for an even tighter fit.
