I think it would require creating a sheet metal bracket that spanned the rear and front gaps to create a flat surface for the bumper to mount. You may also need some standoffs to ensure that the bumpers are level to the ground. I believe a many teams will be working through this packaging challenge as the Rhino Tracks are fun to use.

We used 2 mini cims to drive 4 x 4" Kit Wheels through Modulox Channel and Lunchbox kits. We used a 1:1.14 gear ratio from a 32 (driving) to 28 (driven) flex hub gears.
This design was inspired by the Modulox basketball launcher from a few years ago:
