Can anyone with 8448's wheels try something?

Hello guys.

Can anyone with 8448 wheels try to put them on an assembly like this and tell of it works?

Thanks!

It works, but still wobble a bit. Technic pulley wheel works better than these 3 connectors

Wobbleing a bit?? It has more then one mm of play!

Not more than 1mm for me, in case of those connectors.

What about using the older, thicker version of the connector?

[tripletschiee]

Better, but still to much play .

Are you looking for ways to attach the wheels? Since using pulley wheel there is no wobbling at all. Or there is a specific reason you need connectors pointing out of wheel's center?

BTW, i did it that way, when using these hubs with the 8448 wheels. The 2er axle is in the hub and the wheel. Makes it pretty stiff.

Here is a video of your idea:

8448 wheels were really a bad design with little foresight.

Thank you for info. So the pulley wheel works best? Any chance of making a vid for that too? Thank you!

On my 8448 wheels the centre axle hole is rotated slightly relative to the 3 outer holes, so by forcing an axle through it becomes really stiff

Is this for your all round fastest car tutorials?

Thank you mate! What is your opinion on these wheels, their traction compared to more modern alternatives? I am thinking of getting 4.

[deehtha]

I haven't tested the traction, but the rubber on my set feels a lot softer than the tires that came with my 42000. If I remember right when I had my 8448 built the tires bulged every so slightly from the weight.

@allanp: same with me. But that makes it really stiff.

@zblj: soft, light, big offset of the rim. Pretty cool wheels.

So you guys would recommend these wheels? I have an option to get 4 for 30€.

[allanp]

Their grip is good. Very soft and grippy rubber. Way better than todays plastic rubber.
