What is the drop of the center wheel? As a note of caution, our team used a similar setup with 6 pneumatic wheels and a 1/4" drop in the center wheel. We were able to pivot on a dime while testing, but once we added all the weight of other components, we found the compression in center wheel eliminated the drop and made turning almost impossible. (The lateral coefficient of friction on those wheels seems to be rather high) Have you gotten around this problem?
