 The 4-wheel drive systems bounce around like Mexican jumping beans. It is quite fun to watch. - Warren Boudreau [more] |

Re: pic: Madtown Marauders Wheel
It's not hard to use a wheel like this, but get ready for some machining. The easiest way I can think of is to make two plates that sandwich the wheel with half of the spoke profile milled into them each, so they fit snuggly into the wheel. Then use bolts to clamp the two plates together, trapping the wheel and using milled grooves and the spoke pattern to transfer the torque.
Then to power the wheel, either drill a hole pattern into these two sandwiching plates for a dead axle drive train, or make one of the pieces out of aluminum (the other could be polycarbonate to name an example) and broach it for a live axle.
