Beautiful truck so far!! Applause!

Using that new axle should make the truck much more durable. Since the shaft passes through the differential of the middle axle the current axle has to withstand the load of both axles.. The axle with the bypass (provided it actually is a bypass) distributes the load equally onto both axles. Should be much better for the drive train..

Cheers

Pip

The new middle axle does the trick, there's plenty of clearance around the drive shaft now
