Um er , I know its not a quad.
It actually works , sort of, not much good in dirt and i have some work to do on power delivery .
But so far i have foward reverse and with a bit o resource remap nad mixing in the remote i have steering coupled with yaw.
This is a work in progress .
Cheers

I have this fear that without gear reduction you will need a very low kv. Maybe some of the old 2212's from the DJI phantom aftermarket era motors? The ones for 9 and 10 inch props, that come in the 700kv range? I have no idea how low you need to go, what kv are you running? How do they perform? also: I would start with the smallest tires possible just to keep the torque load on the motor low (in hopes that it will work at all). Does it drive on a smooth surface? Off road?

Hi , It motivates as is , but yes different motors or a planetary gear system would be better . But i have to do some mixing and what knot to bring it under control , and yes i will post a crash real . but here are some pics of my drone motor powered crawler (2212 950kv).

I'm just building a similar thing with 6 wheels, drone motors in the wheels but I build a planetary gearbox in the wheels for bigger torque and lower speed :D https://i.imgur.com/DMrTwlW.png

Are you familiar with swapping ball-bearings and bells? Our motors are not made for this, but anyway cool build.

Please tell me that at some point, you'll make a buggy that can transform into a quad and back!

I see some bent motor axles in your near future.

Good lord. You really can't be safely left alone, can you? Look what you've gone and done now?! Absolutely brilliant.
