Check out the ground clearance and the axle set up.

Now I'd like to see a schematic on the power transmission to the wheels.


Came back to add this link,

It looks like two sets of beveled gears (make 2 90deg power transfers).  Others use a simple setup involving a couple of spur gears which seems easier and has a good final gearing reduction.

Portal axles use bevel gears in them but they have offset hubs like whats shown under those trucks. Basically the main axle housing is up above the wheels like that for ground clearance.

Here is a brief explaination of a portal axle as well as a site that explains the unimog.
