When I was looking at it I wondered whether or not I could get enough penetration/metal on there to keep it on with ~100ftlbs of torque w/o screwing up the CV. Otoh, too little M/P and the sprocket could come off. Maybe I'm thinking the CV is dinkier than it really is.
Edit-I finally remembered why I didn't want to put it on the CV shaft. If the weight in the car changes appreciably then the CV shaft angle will change, wouldn't this require some sort of electric motor mount mechanism to keep the chain lined up? If the sprocket is on the flange/end of the CV before the joint, as opposed to the shaft, then changes in ride height aren't a problem.
