Re: Direct to wheel

For the drive train, you'll want to make sure you support the shafts exiting the toughboxes at the outboard end. The best bet is to purchase the long shafts from andy mark, plus their hubs (since they're both keyed to work together). Then you'll need to put a pillow block or other bearing outboard to support the long shaft - you really don't want to chance bending your drive shafts.
