sweet. i did the same thing when i ran yota axles... but the stupid electric motor goes out when it gets wet.. i wasted 2 of them!!!!!
If you dont seal the motor before you wheel it, then they will die. Main thing is to use rtv where the motor goes into the housing. Also if you put dielectric grease every where you can. I ran thru plenty of water on mcr9 without any issues. Its just not wise to leave you front axle under water for long periods.
