8865? Yeah, works very well, and better yet has standard axle holes. So
you can mount any wheel on them. The only hassle is that you get two
in each 8865, so you need to buy tow copies. And it's really hard to
get drive through the hole.

Not noticably - there's no gap between the white bit that holds the axle
and the wheel, and if you use the 24x43 wheels the white bit actually goes
into the wheel a small amount, so there's not a lot of the torque you're
worried about. I built my big crane truck using those parts, and that had
considerable weight per wheel.
