I made this for a project where I accidentally built the axles 4 studs too wide on each side so with this I'm halfway there if i use this hub and the landrover rims. here's the link to the video20230529_210718.jpg

Of course, it would be nice to include pictures in thread.

i finally figured out how to embed pictures actually in the post so it shows them yayy

Idea is good, but I'm afraid about sturdiness. Most probably, that design can be improved, made more rigid.

maybe something under that u-joint could be put, so that it holds everything together

Well if you take a look at the original u joint, it isnt supported either because it tends to be strongly supported on its other side when you use it. The only weak part is the drawback most custom hubs have: the actual connection point isnt restrained to slide off like a normal hub. Heres how im using the hub, the construction is exceedingly sturdy:20230530_070011.jpg

So because its supported at the steering pivot, it doesnt need anything there cuz i left it to who is using it to design that part to their needs. 

Nice design, have you used this for any length of time? Just curious about how robust it is, I understand that compromises must be made to reduce size but it looks like to me that heavy use will have some issues, not the least of cracked/broken parts.

Used it with 2 buggy motors and 2 buwizz with 15:1 gear ratio around my rock garden with no issues until the buwizz died
