From what I understand if the d44 breaks an axle it will stay put cuz of
some plate on the end of the axle? But now you have me wondering, if you
have the hubs on a d35c would that make the axle/wheel stay on when you
break a shaft instead of having to do the log wheel trick?

True, but there are some axles that it won't. The floating rear end is quite
common in oval track racing, and in some classes is required because of the
safety factor of the wheel staying on the vehicle in the event of an axle
failure. Many of the current designs used are based on the 3/4 ton truck
floating axle design. You can see the basic design at
http://www.colemanracing.com/catalog...?cPath=35_1494. This company
is in the town I live in. It's a pretty simple, but effective design.

On my old Series 2A LandRover, it was all of about 6 bolts and a pull and
out came the whole axle shaft. You could literally change it in 5 minutes.
