Personally, I prefer a smaller wheel (3 studs across the hub). What size
is this across the hub, rather than the flange?
|
Have not measured it myself (in millimeters) so far, only in
CAD-coordinates...

From your own picture, eyeballing the measurement by holding pencils up to
the wheel and the ties below it and so forth, I get that the hub diameter is
just a smidgeon below 4 studs across, while Jason of the green engine wants
3, which coincidentally is about the diameter of the wheel you show next to
it (the one used in the 7750?).
Given that wheel exists, why do another one that diameter (ignoring for the
moment what the price of that wheel actually IS) ??

Well the only 3 reasons I can think are:
1. Mounts on a Technic axle
2. has hole to attach connecting rod
3. has optional counterweight
None of which I think the 7750 wheel has 8?)
