I get where your at with the chain drives, I decided to go ahead with it after following Alex's buggy build (the green one racing in europe somewhere) and seeing the end result of the durability of it. Now i get what you're saying about the axles, had me head scratching for a bit. That's also a setup i also don't like. If I were to go with a center section carrier, then i'd do the a-arms as well. As far as top-heaviness goes, that's due to the ground clearance I've created, strictly for the terrain of the race. I could've kept it to about 4-6 inches, it has good CG overall except for the droop level i run it at. I've got more clearance (13 to 15 inches under the floorpan) than all of the VW-based rails racing at the same place, both stock and modified classes. I intend to push another inch or two up at the front if i can. )))
