The front drive system from the electric motor is going to be via chain - just because... To make that happen, I am building my own chain-drive differential. The first version will be from this Toyota Celica GTS diff.
It's open right now, but will be converted with a Phantom Grip LSD; or maybe something stronger, like a Quaiffe, if available. Ultimately, I can do it all over with something stronger, if that proves necessary. Being on the front wheels, it's not likely that I will be able to apply much of the motor's 1000ft-lb capability, so it will probably survive. The real stress is going to come from braking, where the electric drive turns into KERS. The import guys put quite a bit of power through their little FWD diffs, and this is a slightly beeefier IRS/RWD piece, so... We'll see.
