8'' in wheels

[propshopak01]

Can someone tell me if they are running the 8in wheels for the rear guide axle, with out changing rear axle. I need to take up some track slop to gain more adjustment

You can do it, but all of the small wheels need to be changed to bigger ones also in order to maintain proper rail profile.

I have the pioneer wheel brkts that move all the ice wheels down, my question is that I have extended the track to 151'' and i'm using ice age rails that are not up to spec for track adjusters with stock yami stuff, i heard some where that the 8'' wheels with out changing the axle can caouse track, axle or wheel damage if done alone. thinking of getting the freedom axle kit with 8in wheels but very spendy, what do you folks think thank you

just putting 8 inch wheels on stock axle drops the bottom of the wheel too far below the plane of the rails,rear axle take a lot of abuse that way
