RE: will this combo work?
No. The Asiatam Axles are are a smaller diameter than the Tamiya. Besides that, the late wheels by Asaitam are terrible from my experience. i had 2 sets that continued to fall apart on me in the field. When I finally built my late tamiya Tiger, I used Wecohe late wheels for it. Never had a single problem. Impact tracks are very good though. No trouble there.
