Alright, here it is. I hope you guys understand the drawing... the red shaft is a custom made shaft to replace one of the diff output shafts. It will travel through the outrunner (replacing the stock unit), and somehow be seperate and free from the outrunner stator AND rotor.

There would be a bearing support for the shaft where it comes out of the motor obviously, and that would be integrated into the whole support. The attaching of the motor should seem simple, but I would need to have both a CD and the motor in front of me to be able to design it, but I would like to get some opinions on whether it can even work. Some sort of adapter plate, but how is yet unknown.

Also, I was thinking Mike's slipperential design could be implemented into it as well, somehow making the attachment onto the slipper coupler on his unit and replacing the gear with a coupler of some sort.

I would just like to hear some comments on whether anyone would even want something like this, or if it's just not worth it plain and simple. I just think it's a cool idea none the less, and would allow allow almost perfect left-right balance in the chassis if twin packs were used and esc was centered, then the steering servo on one side, and the receiver/BEC (or Rx pack) on the other side.
