I think that is correct, but the main intentions of this drivetrain is to have the ability to work around t-bones.

I believe you will also be able to get a 4wd out of that system too!

Yup. However I don't see any advantages of a 4wd as opposed to a 6wd or a 8wd, and I think the reason is because how many wheels are in contact with the ground (probably 99.99% wrong because of drop center).

Also, one time I saw a 4wd FTC chassis, and when it turns the entire thing shook, and I think that was because of the rubbing of the wheels. I think if we use a 4wd on this drivetrain, we will see the same thing happen, although I am not entirely sure.
