msm, i'm 1/2 way thru your other thread now; sweet little track in your backyard!
looking at the pics of what you did in back, we're right on the same page, but it appears your sprocket would be twisting out of align w/ the front as the rear articulates?
does the long chain run tolerate the movement or am i missing something?
i'm having trouble figuring out your 3rd link arrangement; one part looks like a typical short-track j-bar/panhard but i cant figure out the rest from the pic i'm looking at.
is half in front and half behind?
x-bird, i don't see any problem with what you're proposing; it seems to be what the higher-end factory IRS buggies do, and makes sense to me.
your setup will reduce unsprung weight by not carrying the motor plus not have camber change like a stick axle does when it artics a lot.
only downsides i see are more stuff to break and if you come off a jump tilted only one side of the suspension will eat most of the initial hit (see more stuff to break part above)
