For the HO version. I'm not sure what the "new" drive system's minimum radius is. The "older" pancake motor design operated around a 9" or so radius w/o problem. I have been able to modify these to easily negotiate a 6" radius, but it takes some careful cutting and adding new retainer lugs to the truck. I turned these out of brass rod.
