| T-3. Wheels and Axles: The car shall roll on the wheels from the kit. The wheels shall turn about the axle
nails from the kit. The axle nails shall be firmly affixed to the wood of the car body. The axle
dimensions (wheelbase) may be changed and entrants do not have to use the precut axle slots. There
must be at least four wheels on the car, however, it is not required that all four wheels make contact with
the track surface. The wheels must be attached directly to axle and spin freely. The wheels and axles
may be placed anywhere along the car body as long the car will straddle the lane guide, and the size and
staging requirements are met (see T-4 and T-10). The outside surface of the axle head (the non-contact
surface) may not be changed, such as, by polishing. This means you may not polish, paint, mark, or
cover the outside (the top) of the axle heads, but you may polish or modify the axles (it is recommended
that you do). It must be obvious to the judges and officials that the wheels and the nails from the kit are
being used. (see Pictures & Notes)

This is what it states in our rules. As long as you don't mess with the head of the nail, your fine. Altering is recommended. LOL
I was looking at your link and those axles seem like they would let the wheel wobble a bit. I'm trying to come up with a design that would keep the wheels from wobbling. I found that site last year but couldn't remember the name of it. Thanks for the link.
