I'm building one too as a sideline thing (hasn't seen any work on it since October...), but using a new chassis etc. But I doubt yours will work as it won't go around corners with that wheelbase!

After I went offline I got half way up my stairs and for some reason sat down and there and then set about moving the wheels in.
Its hellishly bad looking with lots of cheap meaccano bent to fit!
Who knows, if it works great, if not , oh well it was fun!
