No, Since the game does not have any climbing, almost no pushing and since its really about reaching for a target and going fast. 2-Front wheel drive is very easy since you will have to push a ball around. In addition to the 2 wheel drive you can use the stock kit to build your drive platform. and focus on the design of game arm.

Check out my PDF I posted about 3 years ago, its got great info on these systems.
