Revolutionary Tires from China?

Would these tires work? I'm confused.

They work on a vehicle that has independently powered wheels. Kind of like a tank. You see that kind of design on fork lifts made for close quarters use so they can travel sideways. If you make the right wheels spin one directly and the left in the other, it will travel sideways. If you check out the video on that site, you can see that each wheel is powered independently from the others. Guessing they have some weird mixing in the remote/receiver/esc control to do that.

My question would be, how long would they last? Running them on a smooth surface...yeah, fine. Using them on an off-road surface with little pebbles and ruts...I can see breakage in a short period of time. Too many moving parts for earth moving? Yes.

It would have to be something incredibly slow. Fast and hard use of these would explode in minutes.
It would make for a fun video to watch. Someone put them on their 6s Arrma and start the stopwatch!
