If I am anywhere near 80 knots or better I am going to take the problem up in the air with me. As long as I can maintain directional control during the acceleration, I'd rather take off and come back around and land with all the runway in front of me then risk a high speed reject with half the runway behind me. Also, V1 is figured for all wheels braking. Only 3 wheels may not actually get you stopped in time.

The question then becomes what do you do with your gear?
