Would you be interested in a set of hubs that will fit a modern 1/8th wheel?
I'm thinking of designing the hubs for my own pan car should I move forward with it. I will most likely bore a couple sets for the 1/4 inch axles and then some for a larger axle which I will be opting for.

I'm actually considering a gear diff instead of the standard ball style due to the power loads and additional dirt on the big paved tracks. Not quite sure which way I'll go, maybe just a larger thrust bearing design.
