Interesting. My problem is I am (and I know this is pretty daft) trying to
make the entire chassis from the parts in the 8479 Code-pilot truck as I
haven't split my sets yet. So these are the wheels I am working with and I
would need to get some more if I were to decide to subject them to this
(which doesn't make me squeamish, still available elements are just plastic,
good plastic, but just plastic).
I thought that maybe the 8880 wheels would have a deep enough dish to
provide this reduction in offset but I've just checked and a combination of
my misremembering the depth and the need to have a pivot contrives to allow
a reduction of only 1. A new wheel for the 81.6x34 tyres with a dished back
would solve this.
At every turn I seem to be being forced up to 8880 scale, oh well.
Thanks
