Who knows, maybe its strong enough and with a little grease in there in should be ok. It was just a thought.
Yes, we can only guess.
I think the transmission will be pretty solid. The main axle is BB supported on the outside and the gearbox look pretty solid. So it shouldŽnt be able to flex. But we will see.
This solution also means that the shafts rotate in same direction.

I think the Awesomatix solution would flex more.
