Mine has been tracking perfectly also. Is it possible that the tray was inserted into the box upside down?

The tires you are describing appear to be very simular to the tires on the 5533 Red Fury. These are the same tires just w/different hubs that came w/the 8880. The hubs for the 8880 have the inside rim for the special collar for the all wheel drive. (...)   (26 years ago, 19-Dec-99, to lugnet.build)

Hi! I want to get some big tires, about the size of the tires on the Model Team #5571 Black Cat Truck. On Auczilla, I saw there are some <White 5x5 Technic Hubs w/ "68.8x40 Q" Tires>.
