Help!!
The rear wheels on this model have a hollow centre which cause them to be pulled easily out of position when fitting the (overly) tight tracks.
This photo shows the problem in an extreme situation:

The 'pins' that the wheel attaches to seem thin too, so I've tried wrapping a bit of styrene strip around it but it's not really worked as the hollow wheel 'axle' still allows movement.

This has resulted in a bit of a bodge to say the least. My only solution which hasn't really worked is to fill the void within the wheel with filler. this didn't really help either!

I'm at a loss over this. Has anyone come across this problem & managed to sort it out?
TIA
