P.S. I love chain for drive systems. JJ
Can you give any examples of failures you get with a Live Axle system that you would not get by just using Chain on Dead Axles? In the 10 years I've been doing FRC I don't think I've ever seen a failure on a Live Axle, I have seen plenty of broken chains though.

What specifically do you see is the downside of a Live Axle system?
