Its not as simple as that, as the diff pulleys are centeral on the diffs so you cannot have two pulleys side by side on a layshaft for the two belts, remember that the bulk of the parts are from the xxx4, if you start to use parts off other cars like diffs etc it makes it unviable, unless you are a larger company that can make these parts. Also you are then unable to move the motor / motor mount and slipper assembly to chance the weight distribution, if you wanted you could move the whole assemble to the back of the car against the rear gearbox and have the lipos in front, its a flexible solution.
