I don't know any reason for the electric part, except for Regen, but if your going slow there will not be much of that I'd think. Here is a thought for drive layout if going Hydraulic, it's a Concrete Extruded curb machine. Each of the three legs steer independently and move up and down independently, for rock crawling you'd probably want four, and have wheels at the bottom instead of steel tracks. You would be able to move each wheel up or down to maintain the vehicle attitude, and each wheel would be steerable...it could turn all the way around in it's own length. I am working on a "Light weight" Electric two seat UTV type of machine, which I'd like to add a generator to for onboard charging...a Hybrid. It's story is under the Hybrid section. Good Luck!
