Spontanious sketch of a spontanious idea for a futuristic offroad military truck I had at work yesterday. I think its less practical than cool looking. The truck is electrically powered with motors in all six wheels. The cabin can be moved up to give it more legroom in difficult terrain. The box is modular and can be replaces with a flatbed, special use boxes like field command stand, ambulance, radar, AA-weapons etc.

I must say that I like your idea of electric motors in each wheel. I've been a fan of the "Motor-Brake-Generator" concept for years now, and the only thing that keeps such a thing from being real is Potholes. An Engineer/inventor friend of mine told me that we'd have to pave the earth as smooth as a billiard ball to get the idea to work. (Now this was back in the early 1990s mind you. I'm certain that advances have been made in that technology by now.)
