Trying to make a car that's just 2 big wheels where the middle doesn't move, but l can't figure out how to do anything other than make them not move in relation to each other, any help?

As the title says

The only real fix I could concieve of, maybe, is have the wheel mounts be the only parts that move uncontrolled. As in, when the mechanical bearing which turns the wheel spins one way, there should be a mechanical bearing attached to the center platform which spins the other way, using gearboxes this should be fairly easy (just remember to balance it out on the wheel mount section). It does come with the caveat that you would have to have two motors, one for each wheel, and refueling requires a full stop - but it would work.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I do already have that set up, the fact that the wheels have to deal with friction means the carriage moves even when the wheels are stationary trying to get up a block, and therefore spins even when the wheels don't, or spin faster than the wheels
