Nobody has mentioned it lately-- but you can completely eliminate this
torque-steer problem with chain (or belt) drive.
You still have to make the chassis stiff enough to keep your sprockets
aligned, however.

Lance;
It would work just fine... but without a torque tube, it still flexes the
chassis under engine torque. If the chassis is stiff enough, no problem, but
with long, skinny LSR cars, it isn't easy to make a chassis torsionally
stiff.
