Lee thank you for all this info extremely helpful! In regard to the drag during turning will this apply and/or be as detrimental if using a motor/4-1 diff/cv/axel/wheel set up??
"They behave like a limited-slip or locking differential. Nice in snow or on a drag strip; but it leads to extra losses in normal driving. Going around a curve, the outside motor is forced to turn faster, so it becomes a generator, and is actually dragging the wheel backward (negative torque). The current it generates drives the inside motor harder, trying to make it turn faster."
