I haven't taken the motor apart yet since this brand uses snap wrings that are difficult to remove. But when I do, I'll put red loctite on it as you mentioned.

3.5 x 3.14 = 10.99 (Tire Radius)
10.99/2.92 = 3.76 inches of roll per motor revolution
This configuration should work! I'm sure you will be able to increase tire size somewhat since it's so lightweight.
The AXI uses those snap rings also. I use a pair of small screw drivers. First pry the ring apart, then starting on one side, pop it up out of the groove. Then using both screw drivers, work all the way around gently prying up until it's completely out of the groove.
I don't think I've ever seen a pair of snap ring pliers that small. I'm sure someone makes them though.
