If you are planning on using the Chiaphua motors, you will have to build some sort of gearbox. If you look at the specs, you will see a top speed of 5500 RPM. I'd say that would take more than a 3:1 or 4:1 reduction to acheive a drivable speed.

As to the wheels, it is my understanding that ANY Skyway wheels are legal. There are some pretty nice wheels on there.
