The skinny on skinny tyres

[colmo]

I run my BJ4 (non-WE) on a very slippery polished wood floor. I've done the usual things to improve overall traction, and run on the softest springs I can (AE blacks, front and back, though contemplating firming up the front a bit to counteract understeer).

But I want more - so what about running on skinny tyres?

I've worked out exactly what I need:

Hubs: NTC3 hex hubs such as these ones by Yeah Racing, to cater for the relatively wide axle of JConcepts and Associated buggies.
Front wheels: Kyosho RB5 front wheels (bored out for wider JConcepts/Associated axle), equipped with 2wd Schumacher yellow fronts.
Rear wheels: Kyosho/Academy/Tamiya 12mm hex 4wd front wheels, equipped with 4wd front Shumacher yellows, again bored out for the wider axle.

I believe boring out the wheels is safe enough, as it is the hub and wheel hex that ensures the wheel is perfectly central rather than the hole in the wheel.

I standardised on 12mm hubs because I'm unsure what hub shapes and sizes are used on the front wheels of Losi and Associated 2wd buggies. The RB5 is the only 2wd buggy using a hex hub in the front that I know of. Standard Losi or Associated front hubs on the rear would I'm sure work just as well, along with our more usual front wheel.

First off, have I got everything straight, and secondly, do you think it'll work?
