If you want to do 4 wheel drive on a frame that is longer than its width, it will be difficult to turn. The wheels have to have enough force to break its traction in order to slide. You must gear your drivetrain to have enough torque to skid your tires. Many teams use 6 wheel drive with a lowered center wheel to avoid this. You can search the forums about threads on the many benefits of going to 6 wheel drive.

They stated that they will be using mecanum wheels, all 4 need to be driven independently to strafe.

Also the toughbox-nano only accepts 1 CIM motor, I believe those Toughboxes and wheels are only place holders.
