 | | 8455 tires (Re: Yellow blues...)
|
| (...) I know this issue has been discussed before, so forgive any redundancy. After examining my 8455 backhoe, the larger rear tires (which look just like the "power puller" type from 8466, but are slightly smaller) are less rubbery than the power (...) (21 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Never tried that one - nice space saving idea. What I tried some time ago was to use plates with the studs on the side so that the track runs over the edge of it. This allows to build very narrow track frames. If I remember right, in a very (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

In addition to this, had I applied 1x6 tiles the superstructure would have fouled on them when slewing, there was not enough clearance between the superstructure and the tracks to allow the fitting of 1x6 tiles.
