I would like to see the development of a drive system that feeds the
Tire or rim through the axle- meaning, not turning each wheel from the middle. If there was a way to do that, then there would be less height needed for ground clearance.
Right now, ground clearance relies on the height of the middle of the wheel- where the axle turns the wheel. That means, for 30 inch wheels, your max ground clearance will only be 15 inches off the ground. We need to change that.
