We were playing with some of the first run of wheels at our GMLTC meeting
Thursday night.  The spacing on where the Technic pin sits is just right - it
sets in just far enough to allow whatever you connect to it to clear the outter
lip of the driver wheel.

Ben, as I told you privately, I *love* these wheels!

Also a note - Ben will also be selling "de-flanged" versions of these wheels,
but they require him to machine off the flange by hand, so he might have to
charge extra for them.  (He didn't want to create a separate mold for the
non-flange versions.)

I was playing with a sample setup of three wheels - flanged/non flanged/flanged
- they handled the Lego curved track perfectly.

John, Just by curiosity, how are they doing on switches? have you been tested
them in depth? speed?

Hmmm...  It might be time for me to get started rebuilding my Challenger!
