well wasn't the original intended use, were made to change thread on my P3 motors to fit a different cluster as thread
on some of the motors was a bit odd, but can use to change front to a rear

trust me, im tempted to keep it simple but this is for a fat tire bike a sidecar attached for my daughter and i live in the desert, dirt / sand roads... im very afraid a front hub wont have traction to pull us... so i have two options, buy a kit and have it relaced into my wheel or find a fat tire kit, cant find an affordable rear one...

You have a better option. Try an Xtracycle Free Radical or the like instead of a sidecar. That puts your body weight much more over the front wheel for traction, and allows you to pass through bike path bollards and other restrictions. It's probably cheaper and more capable than what you're talking about, too.
Xtracycle has a new, more badasser frame extender in the works, but it will be a little while before you can buy one.
