I like the idea, but i would be concerned with how much dirt and debris would get into those motors. Seems like an easy way to make a 4x4 5b/t/sc though. From what i saw of the RCX coverage those conversions are expensive at $350 each for the motors, each wheel mount/connecting arm is $75 and the new roll cage that bolts in place of the gas engine is $150. For a 4wd baja that would be $1700 just in conversion parts from TIDNAB not counting the ESC's to run all of them and the 6-18s batteries and battery trays. The owner of the company claims that there is over $1M in R&D in their test mule and they have driven it more than 4,000km. If the technology becomes more commercially available and therefore cheaper, this may be a viable option for new vehicle development. I also wonder how the 4wd cars handle with all 4 motors turning at the same time? It seems to me that you would need to have the ESC's setup to limit power slightly to the inside wheel while cornering.

Look strangely familiar. Like a repost or something…
