The flickr thread mentions a problem with torquing to the side. If you mount the motor directly on the vertical axle and tie it into the truck, I think that problem should go away. (I believe Shuppiluliumas has done this several times)

Inspired by the minitruck designed between Shuppiluliumas and myself, TJ Avery has come up with an alternate version. I think this version would solve some of the issues caused by the 8-toothed gears grinding against the wheels that the original design had, but it should be noted this design only works properly with the non-standard o-rings we've previously discussed.
