"One motor per wheel, in the wheel, is an old idea. It's been used most notably on LeTourneau heavy equipment. The usual problem is too much unspring weight, not a problem for giant earthmovers but bad for fast cars."
hmmm ... I wasn't thinking about motors in the wheel, although I am familiar with that concept.
I was thinking about a more pedestrian motor per wheel configuration wherein the motor is just behind the spring ... and is thus, sprung weight ... is there even space for that ?
