Yeah, looks like it. If the drive gear is on the motor shaft there will be issues with gear skipping under load unless it is supported on the back side as well.

they almost look offset from each other like a pinion is driving the worm but cant tell for sure. that one picture showing the front axle on the rock looks like the black dot could be the extrusion from the worm though.

Ummmmm.... 12.2" wide (and the Cs look like they may be too tall to fit into a deep offset beadlock) and 147:1 gearing.
