That's the exact configuration I had, down to the axle joiners :)
Problem is, the spacing is too far--it doesn't grip the brick. It's like as if
it needs an extra millimeter of diameter on each wheel. I might 'cheat' and put
some rubber bands around the wheels.
I try real hard at this new rounded beam construction, but I just don't "see"
the configurations. I started the block cannon using rounded beams and I
couldn't get very far at all with it, even after a good hour. Then I gave up
and went to the regular beams and within minutes I had slapped together a solid,
well built framework.
