Mid tiger 1 outer bogie wheels

I just finished my mid tiger 1 and the outer bogie wheels are barely touching the tracks so they dont roll when the tanks are running except on soft uneven ground. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello Ramon

It was a problem with the cast wheels due to center bearing being a loose fit and not being machined in the center. Also there was a problem with the axle not being machined at 90' to the bar.
Also it is best if you machine the spacers so that the wheels dont foul the axles. If i remember i took a far bit of meat off the spacers
