I did not know that you could get those, that would probably be the best way for me to go. However I don't know how much the C6C uses for power, so I will probably go with D batteries. Even if AA batteries are sufficient, D batteries would just last longer.
Also for wheels I was thinking of wood with a steel ring on the outside. That way i can make them look like the actual wheels and still be able to use the hinge track.
