Yep. I only wish that Lego made a tire that looks like the old 24x43's but
is much larger in diameter.
What I would like to see is a tire the same diameter as the power puller's,
but "squared off" (like the silver champion's) and with deeper tread.
But we can only wish :-)

I agree. In that model I had the axle supported by a hole that was only 1
full brick width deep. If you look closely, there's a white 1x3 link behind
that support piece. This link acted as a spacer (so that the u-joint pivot
point was in-line with the steering pivot point) but wasn't tied to
anything. If you can build it so that the 1x3 link is fixed to the steering
structure, you'll have a hole that is 1.5 brick widths long. That should
give adequate support.

| After Looking at it a second time I think that suspension will really work great. It is a little hard to see exactly how it is built from the pictures.
