Wheeled Vehicle without wheels. Possible?

Is it possible to make the wheels on the default buggy invisible?
I've tried not adding them in the datablock. Car falls over and can't move.
I've tried adding wheel.alpha.jpg and tread.alpha.jpg. No effect
I've tried replacing wheel.jpg and tread.jpg with transparent .pngs. Result Black wheels.
The result I'm looking for is a kind of vehicle that slides across the ground.
Many Thanks

This'll mean torque will detect the collisions so you can drive about, but your wont be able to see the tires.

Create your tire dts, but only include the cillision mesh, not the visible geometry mesh.This'll mean torque will detect the collisions so you can drive about, but your wont be able to see the tires.

The JetBike content pack from BraveTree has an example of a wheeled vehicle with invisible wheels :)

Other wise create a new tire in Milkshape or something and make it transparent.
Or you could make it a hover vehicle. Not sure if it is working cuz I haven't played with it and don't need it for my project. I think you could set the height of hover vehicle to make it basically be on the ground.
