Message	during cornering wouldnt we be shearing wheels studs off like Lorena Bobbit on a Tequila Rampage? This cant be true, wheels have to be solidly in place do they not? I was always told the rule of thumb in moving metal parts was enough clearance to slide carboard (non-corrugated) thru, basically a mm at the minimum.
