A little definition: West coast drive means that the wheels are cantilevered (unsupported on one end). 6WD is usually implied that the middle wheel is lowered (usually between 1/8" and 3/16"). A way around this is to have equal diameter omni wheels on the outer wheels.

You can use 4 CIMs <R45c> plus the rest of the motors in the kit of parts <R45a>, there's a special section about the RS motors (you can use up to four in any combo, even duplicates) <R45d)
