When I looked at my sled 06 apex. The rear larger wheels on the outside can be spun by hand when the sled is on the ground. Both sides spin and I have the two wheels inside that dont spin by hand. Is this okay?
 
That's the reason they are so hard on sliders. Poor design in my opinion.

Change to larger diameter wheels and the slider issue dissappears.

Your fine.when making turns at low speeds the force of the track they touch.and higher speeds as well more so at low speeds.

They are there for stability,insurance and keeping the rear more true.i say insurance because if you only had 2 inner wheels like some cats and now some of the vipers, if you lose a wheel your left with one inner and thats never good!

All the wheels wear like a tire,the very rear ones take some force .
