I think you’re gonna have a couple of problems with it:
- The 2x2 round parts don’t always attach very strongly to the flange parts - and as they carry the weight and provide the traction, they will probably be prone to falling off unless you glue them. Standard 2x2 plate doesn’t look as good, but is much stronger because it has an axle hole.
- With just the plastic tractive surface, slippage is likely to be significant - you’ll probably have to find a way to attach w rubber band or something.
But a neat idea!
