As for suggestions, try putting two motors on it, more torque > more pushing power, if you can afford the weight/space. As for wheel modifications, I don't know anything for sure.
im using one motor, and it has more than enough power. that's not my issue though. plus, i do not believe i can afford the space/weight.

i jus want to get the tires to have more traction
