An electric taxi system (ETS) for an aircraft may include an articulated driven sub-assembly coupled circumferentially with a wheel of the aircraft, the articulated driven sub-assembly being provided with a plurality of torque transmitting pockets; and a rotatable driver with a plurality of teeth, the driver being selectively engageable with the articulated driven sub-assembly so that successive ones of the teeth engage with successive ones of the torque transmitting pockets to transmit torque from a motor of the ETS to the wheel. Transmission of torque through the ETS may not interfere with normal deflection of the wheel which results from movement of the aircraft.
