Hey guys,

After talking to eovnu (Mike), the one with the creative barbie jeep... I'll be skipping the tires for now, and will probably be trying out some new batteries (6s 5000mAh anyone?), and if it doesn't do what I want, will probably sell off the battery..

The motor on the right wheel will act sort of a diff, and make it easier to turn, as opposed to a solid axle... A solid axle will also lose some power & traction..

I pulled some wheels off of our wheel dolly that my dad got from harbor freight (so essentially, the same wheel I'm going to get), just to see if they're up for size.. Looks like it's going to be a bit more work than just drill a few holes & go.

The sprocket looks to be a bit too small, but the brake cylinder, I could probably chop off (could use something else for brakes), and so the mount seems to be the main issue.

Pics below.

Any ideas? -Excuse my ignorance, have never really ventured into this world-
