We did one motor/wheel last year and the reason is simple: we wanted power but we couldn't make dualie gearboxes.
We put the stuff on the wheels today. I will take a pic and I guess testing is in order for tommorow.
We also did zip-ties as a temporary fix and the helped, but we had to be careful to start our turns slowly.
It was fun driving around. We zip-tied the trannies so we didn't slip into neutral and put any more holes in walls today. heh.
