Tamiya´s System is a bolt and Fujimi has a cylinder!!!
It depends on the shape of the hubs and wether there are one
or two bushings to be fitter inside the wheels.
I did this once sofar by reducing width of the cylinder in the wheel
and by trimming down the outside of the hub assembly. If you can
do that, you can just fit one bushing inside the wheel and one
in the hub and use a piece of 1.5mm brass rod for axle.
If you can't trim the outside of the hub then you probably need
to drill out the hub so the cylinder fits partly inside the hub.
'haven't tried doing that but it sounds like quite a bit of work...
