Re: WCD vs Standard

Okay, new questions to ask.

In my WCD design I have designed the wheels to be far enough from the outside to allow for interchangeable wheel sizes of 4in, 6in, and 8in. Is this a good idea? I have read somewhere that you use 4in wheels to save weight, go faster, and keep your wheels as far to the outside as possible. Is this true? Should I design my WCD to use one type of wheel?

Also, can you weld the AM Flanged bearings to standard aluminum wall? (6061 I think).

Thanks!
