I agree that the driving style is very important and I only have 3 pairs of 4" AndyMark plaction tires, 12 bearings of the 20 I have on hand, and need to order sprockets because I only have 4x 24 tooth sprockets on my 8" used mechanum wheels.

So there's going to be a short blocking delay while I wait for the few little parts I need to do this with just 6 4" wheels total. I am not entirely blocked because I can still start putting things together.

Frame dimensions or wheel spacing?
I meant 4wd total (2 per side-more turning scrub=more motor work). Honestly the number of wheels isn't that important. Just use whatever you have on hand.
