Thought of one method to make a warthog ATV work. Just. Overcomplicated though so perhaps not a good idea. Make fixed suspension system and have one wheel on each track lower than the others. This should have the effect of making the vehicle based on 4 wheels and still look like tracks. Overcomplicated and still quite frankly rubbish performance. or you could go the whole way and make it with wheels.
