As for mounting of the motors, the motors are mounted the same as any other gearbox that you would create. The difference is that instead of making the gearbox in a horizontally long configuration with the motors in line flat with the wheels you stand it up on end and mount it vertically so the swing of the steering wheels in the chassis is reduced and the wheels can be mounted closer to the edge of the chassis. See the wildstang pictures for a good look
