Good catch. I had originally designed the drivetrain without the octagonal frame up top. Now that I've added it, I have room for the 2" wide wheels. The only qualm I have is that I won't be able to use an e-clip to hold the wheels on the shaft because the WCP hubs are 1.5" thick. I suppose a screw, a washer, and some loc-tite would suffice. Thoughts?
