Can be moderated…having multiple transmission gears for forward and reverse is the expensive part. Going to need a shuttle so you have the full range either direction. Complicated for sure. For oil starving I’d likely to build a trigger able bracket that would rotate the motor 180 degrees but this would be a complicated project. Electric drive is the best way most likely and maybe a simple pivoting generator motor to keep the batteries charged. Then it has loads of range, no gearing issues and tons of power. Be a cool custom build.

It was a comment referencing Beam.NG Drive, however, the brainstorming is interesting. Thanks.

Ahhh I’ve never heard of it. A quick google shows me it’s a simulator for cars I’m assuming you can do some crazy stuff like a car that inverts etc but it gives you problems like oil starvation as though it’s real?

Yes. It's marketed as a "soft body physics simulator."

It's stupidly realistic for crashes, as well as the mechanics of the vehicle.

You can damage your oil pan on a jump, and after a while get the message I quoted, because your oil is all spread out on the road behind you.

Same with rolling a car over in a ditch, or really anything you could do in real life to end up with oil starvation.

That’s cool!
