Portal axles allow 10 mm more ground clearance. However, housings are plastic. Unfortunately, all bearings are plain bearings made of a bronze alloy. Gears made of hardened steel. The axles initially run rough. Run in with a drill. The driving speed was reduced by the other gear ratio. You can drive very slowly now.

Portalachsen ermöglichen 10 mm mehr Bodenfreiheit. Gehäuse sind aber aus Kunststoff. Alle Lager sind leider Gleitlager aus einer Broncelegierung. Zahnräder aus gehärteten Stahl. Die Achsen laufen Anfangs schwergängig. Mit einer Bohrmaschine einlaufen lassen. Die Fahrgeschwindigkeit verringerte sich durch die andere Übersetzung. Man kann jetzt auch ganz langsam fahren.

I love these portal axles but be warned. They don’t work very good when you get them so you have to strip them down and do a lot of fiddling to get them to work. They are also very fragile.
