    Yep.

    Trucks used these as far back as pre-WWII. It a great solution for off road vehicles to gain clearance. At low speeds, even universal joints work fine for this setup, because the shaft rotates at 1/3 wheel speed, like a drives haft does going into a differential.

    This puts a diff at each wheel.

    Edit: These are called Portal Gears
