If you start with a four wheel drive vehicle - you could attach the four motors to the half shafts, or even directly to the hubs.
After pulling some strong magnets out of a few hard drives, I wondered about glueing them on the inner inside rim of the alloy wheels, and placing electro-magnets on a heavier backing plate/dust shield to drive the wheels. Never got any further than that though.
