I don't have personal experience with this, but I seem to recall more than one post here about "converted" I2s. There is apparently a small difference in the control system (X2 is a little slower to respond, I think), but almost everything else (motors, circuit boards, etc.) is shared between the I2 and X2. If you got bigger/softer/knobbier tires for the I2, it should be OK for the intermediate use that you desire. You might get a second set of wheels to mount the new tires on, and you'll have to remove the I2 fenders if you get much bigger tires.
