and i would still keep it 4wd correct?

This will work well (we've used it in the past).

A inexpensive alternative is putting zipties on the rear set of wheels. Putting about 10-20 zipties on each wheel (equally spaced) will reduce the traction of those wheels. The more zipties, the less traction. As with Omniwheels, as your traction goes down it becomes easier to push you around.
