I started thinking the other day, what if we removed the rear brakes on a front wheel drive car and put one of those at each rear wheel. We have 4 wheel drive, we could use it to assist in braking, which is all rear brakes do, and we could use it to accellerate, which would help on gas mileage and make the car faster off the line. Even a standard brushless controller would do the trick because it has all those features already built in. I'm not sure why the car manufacturer's arent jumping all over this technology.

I think I might try it on my wifes car. hmmmmmmm.
