i was just thinking and thought mount a motor on each wheel that has a dogbone gong from the motor straight to the wheel.

do you think this would work?

Not likely. you would need some sort of gearing to make it work. But give it a shot and let us know how it works!

That would be interesting....no torque and an extreme high speed!

Like he said, you would need to gear it down somehow, like a torque hub.

You could use it for like a racing buggy or maby even a sand buggy that would be pretty cool.

You would never have enough torque, and the motors would run very hot if they ran at all.

That would take 4 motors and 2 esc's at the least what would be the point? There would be a 1:1 drive ratio and you would most likely burn up the motors in less that 3 minutes. And BTW moter is spelled motor.

I had been thinking of trying it with 4 of these, just lay them side by side and run dogbones down. Not a lot of power draw, you could probably run all four off one ESC, and the ~140:1 ratio makes for some nice crawling speed.
I'm currently using two of these, running to the diffs in my MLST crawler, one powering each end. with the extra 2.5:1 in the diffs, they have enough torque to motivate 2.2 moabs on double narrowed traxass front wheels. but talk about S-L-O-W.
