What made you opt for screw+washer and eclips to secure the shafts over circlips everywhere?
Is it just me, or are there 4 wheels on the far side and only 3 on the close side?

EDIT: Did you add any extra spacing for the chain? Apparently that's a problem according to these tests.
It appears that the sides are set up so the near one would be for a 6 wheel drive and the far one would be for a 8 wheel drive

EDIT: just read the original post lol...
