Well there's not a lot of friction between steel and pavement so it wouldn't go very fast. There would be a sweet spark show, though.

But yeah I'll be sure I glue the foams well enough so they don't self destruct. Do you think I should put a parachute on the third channel?

Thats really not a bad idea. That thing wont be able to stop very well.
Youre also going to need a wheelie bar if you increase the traction to much.
I personally would avoid foam tires on a vehicle like that just because it could probably go through a pair every battery charge. I dont have that kind of money. Its also going to be hard to get rubber tires to stay glued to rims at the speeds those rear tires will reach, so I would use beadlocks of some kind. If you want to deal with the gearing issues, panther maxx sized slicks on maximizer 1/2" off set beadlocks work pretty well. Theyve survived a lot of abuse so far, and they still give a lot of forward thrust when theyre spinning.
