As sanddrag said, have you had any problems with a rigid drive? How much are you planning to have it rock? Too little rock and it would be practically the same as a rigid drive, and too much rock might affect accuracy of manipulating the game object due to uncontrollable front/back rocking.

Don't get me wrong, I think your idea is really cool. It's just the matter of seeing if all the effort to get it to work is worth it, and if the benefits are true benefits.
