Yeah but those are still using the 5 ton Rockwell axles:hsugh: :hsugh:
I mean they work ok but they aren't very durable since the problem is they are built like a transaxle with a boot but huge knuckles. Not a bad design in this case but the weak spot is the boot which tears rather easily allowing the grease to let out and allowing water and dirt to do it's thing which is not a good thing at all

I did see the one built for DARPA though and it was pretty slick...didn't see it run though.
