I don't have the omni wheels on me right now, but if their diameter is smaller than the kit wheels/other wheels we would use, then this is an very attractive idea.

Otherwise we could use a Rotozip/mill to elongate the center hole until it is even with the other two holes. All we'd have to do then is drop in the dead axle. (optional) Axle mounts would fit inside the Cbase, and could be printed in shop.

If you wanted to/wouldn't mind raising or lowering the chassis, you could bolt up a few pillow blocks and have the ability to switch between dead or live axle with the same setup.
