You would want to consider keeping the driveshaft as straight as possible, to reduce U-joint stress, avoiding the sharpe angle.. Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk |

Throphy truck & RR10 are different worlds..on the Yeti RR, SCORE, CP for sure..but why complicate the drivetrain if not a must..follow the driveline's natural course..but opinions are A-plenty.. Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk |

I just got one of my projects driveable last night and it's using a centered SSD D60HD. It's a plastic housing, but it's beefier than the stock ar60 with thicker wall axle tubes and no need for lockouts. It comes with truss, shafts, 13mm pinion bearings, diff cover, carrier bearing caps, link mounts, and all necessary hardware... a steal at $29! I'm running a 3656 brushless setup on 3s, and I plan on launching this rig at the dunes, so I'll find out how durable it is soon enough, it's cheap enough to experiment with. The change in driveline angle with a centered pumpkin under a bomber would be minimal, but as already said, it is more prone to getting hung up when crawling. |

Side trap of centered rear axle in Bomber, depending on drive shafts used, can also be interference with the spur cover. Just one other thing to consider. |
