My biggest concern, in addition to the one mentioned above about getting enough traction, is whether or not you'll be able to turn at all with this. Generally the scrub on a high traction drive requires teams to use at least 4 CIMs on their drive system to avoid stalling their motors when attempting to turn.
I would expect that there is a CIM on each of the front and back "wheels/pulleys".
