Wow, that is deadly looking! Use that with a speed record! I have mentioned the wheel motor idea a few times on this forum, but yeah it won't really work with these monster trucks. MAYBE, smaller on road cars... but they would need a very high power density to keep the weight down in the wheels, like someone said "unsprung weight" is a killer.
A few companies are doing wheel motor for full scale cars however, with GREAT results, works much better than motor/tranny/driveshafts.
About the diffs Sike.... I think all pinions have thrust on them when loaded, these spiral cut gears may just have more pressure is all. I don't really know what the best bearing are in these sizes? Sorry.
