Found something intresting on Ebay

I thought about this; with active suspension, and every wheel powered independent, with the right software it would be a dream to handle.

Well $H!T yah! It would be like limited slip diffs, only more natural feel i would think. It would also be near silent operation... that's neither a good or bad thing.

Do you think it would need some kind of controller that could keep teh front and rear same speeds, not synced, but like a center diff, just very stiff.

Some day, some day!

I think the idea as a whole is good. But having independent motors on each wheel would get spendy the maintain. When I drove electric fork lifts, they were powered similar to your idea. The motors however took a beating, that is for sure. Although they carried more weight of course. But RC's would require smaller motors to power each wheel, this would add some weight as well as a suspension that could also work and handle it as well, and would also add some weight. I would think the motors would eventually wear at different times and end up getting costly and a PITA to repair. yes it would handle like a dream, but at what cost?
