Yeah I was poking around looking at differentials for ATVs and side-by-sides, most of them are shaft drive and it's difficult to find a chain drive. Northern Tool had a limited slip differential I believe it was fairly inexpensive but it was only good up to 10 horsepowerand but that's not going to work. The only downside to my trike having a split axle is, it's only one wheel drive. But it's not a thousand horsepower either. And there's quite a bit of weight on those wheels back there. Its not light and neither am i. It should work pretty well. I would love for it to have been a 2-wheel drive but a solid axle across the back won't turn for crap. The only reason that axles work on a regular off road 3 wheelers is because the wheels slide across the top of the ground and that works for off road, not so much for the street.
