Re: pic: 8WD 'Suspension' Chassis Concept
BE VERY CAREFULL! 342 tried a 8 wheel drive system with 4 independent drive pods. We faught with this drive system '05 and '06. On paper it was ingenious, but we had a lot of problems turning and machanical break downs, and it really hurt us in '06. This system was probably the coolests looking and worst functioning drivetrains we have tried.
 
We went back to the kiss method with great results. Your plan sounds good, all I'm saying is to weigh the beneifits of this system agaist the simplicity and reliablity you will sacrifice. If it works, more power to you.
P.S. sorry the pics are so big
