If you do this, I would suggest powering the wheel closest to the center of the road; so that it bounces less? It would be unsprung weight, probably.

On the other hand, if it is on the outside then it would push the car "uphill" because of the road crown -- this might be more stable in terms of resisting the yaw force?
