Advantages to a centered rear pumpkin?

[DrDiff952]

Love the looks of the Wraith but confused why it doesn't have a centered rear pumpkin (diff housing).

I guess they put an offset under there to ease drive shaft angles????

I'd like to see pix and hear your opinion if you have made the switch.

Thanks guys

There are plenty of factory 1:1s that have an offset rear pumpkin (although none that I know of that have an axle that looks like the Dana style found in the wraith). There are also plenty of custom 1:1 buggies that use a front steering axle in the rear with an offset pumpkin. I like the offset pumpkin since it improves the ground clearance. If I was using ar60s in a more stock style scaler I would use a centered pumpkin but I think it fits right in with the theme of the wraith.

so they could use the same axle front and rear

Same axle housing, different axles. The fronts are dogbone or universal and the rear axles are straight.
