The system you want to install will be very expensive and you're already talking about completely redesigning the drivetrain to accommodate it. There are better gains to be had for less cost and effort, why not pursue those first?

I'm not redesigning the drivetrain. A pair of 4x4 front hubs is $100. Pair of axles is $100. 20hp motors can be found for around $200-300. I still have to figure out what I'd do for batteries.
