Or are you saying you don't use 6 of these wheels on a 6WD?

How do you overcome the turning problems?
Major bumping, several inches in the air bumping. Pneumatic tires bounce really well once you get them started, and if you keep going they bounce higher. If we're using 6 wheel drive we'll probably have plaction wheels on the corners. They slide sideways pretty well without giving up much in the way of fore-aft traction.
