I'm going to be using the Toyota MGR's from a Highlander Hybrid. In the Highlander Hybrid, they used an electric rear drive along with the gas/electric front drive. They are basically the entire motor/gearbox/differential in one unit weighing about 100lb. They are rated at 50Kw each. My final evil plan will lock the differential and use one MGR per wheel. The differential will be electronic, using one motor controller per wheel.
By the way, ( Sorry this really is the wrong thread ) I've got one of those Siemens 3ph AC motors that were used on various OE EV projects like the GM S10 EV. It's brand new and I'm selling it for a fair average value or maybe an interesting trade...
