Registered here specifically to say - please tell Andrew that including bearings on the road wheels would be so massively beneficial. Or at least allowing for this upgrade to occur. As is, I love love love my Chieftain but I often hesitate to drive it because I don't want to wear the road wheels down. And if I do drive it, I feel practically obligated to take most of the road wheels off so I can re-grease them and make sure they're not wearing down.

I'm absolutely waiting with bated breath for further chassis by Andrew/Haya, but I really hope we see bearings (or even POM bushings! just something!) in future models. Given how many other excellent small Quality-of-Life features there are in the Chieftain (the drivers hatch switch, the springloaded idlers, the easy-open hull, the external hatches) it seems silly to me that bearings or bushings just didn't happen in the road wheels.
