Traction motor drive system where the motor drives the wheel through a set of rubber bushed suspension links. The links are fitted to either end of a hollow tube (the quill) surrounding the axle. One set of links is attached to the output drive of the motor, the other to the wheel. The system reduces the unsprung mass on the axle compared with the nose suspended motor.
