It turns out I didn't need to, Steve. I thought that was going to be a problem too, but the wheels that I use - usually standard gauge pilot wheels - press on the larger diameter part of the axle and gauge out to 2-1/8" just fine, without using the turned-down tips of the axles. I've been running several of these for some time now and no wheel wobble. I suppose if the wheels you are using are thinner, it would become an issue. But the SG die-cast pilot wheels are thick enough at the hub that they work as-is.

did you get one of these motors to play around with? What are you putting it in?
