While looking at the pictures in the show vocte thread, I noticed that a few of the cars looked like they had washers/bushings between the wheels and bodies. Did anybody else notice this? Or am I seeing things?

You can't drill out the bore of the wheel and insert a bushing... but you can slide a spacer on the axle on one or I suppose both sides of the wheel. The part of the wheel that rides on the axle has to be part of the original wheel not a foreign material. Nice explanation 5kids!
