On a side note i want to see a drive train that doesn't have a direct motor to wheel system (what i mean is having a system where you have a torque to speed ratio).

I believe "Tazlikesrobots" was making an EDU bot for prototyping/tinkering, it doesn't have to meet any weight specs and so forth. He's bound to two motors because of his controller (which reminds me, do you have more motors? Because you can do away with the coaxial junk and just make each wheel have their own motor and use a pwm cable split 4-ways).
And I don't exactaly understand by "a drivetrain that doesnt have a direct motors to wheel system" -- do you mean a shifting transmission? or some drivetrain that transfers power to the wheels via viscous fluids?
