If you've seen these C5 differentials, the axles shafts are huge.
What makes them particularly great for an electric motor setup is they have the transmission bolt to the differential with a shaft input, so putting an electric motor in place of the trans is perfect, direct shaft input from the motor,
This is my secret btw, when the next guy builds an electric car with one remember who told you first.

just a big project that needs a sponsor.
