What configurations are you going to have your wheels in? I.e. four traction only, four mecanum only, 4 traction + 4 mecanum, etc.
The 488 version looks awesome. 461 prototyped this drivetrain over the last year and a half and summer, here is a link to that thread.

Hope that helps you see how this sort of system works.
