I guess I'm curious as to what scenario would require a complete removal of a drive module like this in less than 1 minutes.
Changing out wheels could certainly be done more quickly than removing the entire module, and if you're blowing out motors/gearboxes often enough to require such quick repairs, then your problem isn't lack of ease of accessibility, it's more likely that the problem is that you're using the wrong kind of gearbox/ratio/lubricant. IMHO, a good drive system is one you shouldn't have to touch maintenance-wise (short of wheel/tread replacement) for the whole season.
