A piece of advice:
I tried the Albion/Coleson caster wheels, the bearings can't handle the lateral load and melt their way out of the wheels, and as a drive wheel the rubber is too soft and I wore off over 1/2" in 2 races.
Its amazing how critical tires and wheels are in power wheels racing, look for something hard and strong.
Oh, yea... Bring spares

Having used these exact wheels in vehicles before, I'd object to the bit about the bearings. They hold up fine.
This car probably won't ever see a race, it's just an exercise in silly.

...if only there was a racing series that specialized in this exact thing!

Nah, that would be silly. I don't think anyone would be interested in such a thing.
