We've been kind of doing that for a few years with the AM ToughBoxes and using the same style of mounting that the kit chassis uses. You can pull the gearbox without pulling the drivetrain with it. Kind of nice.

That being said, the ability to place any arbitrary 1/2" hex output shaft would be nice.
