We had zero failures thus far and have not changed the wheels since build season. We fully intend to improve on this initial design to reduce some machine time and run Colson wheels next year if they work in our design/strategy.
Feel free to ask more questions.

Our hubs were literally the same exact thing and we've had just as good results. Through 2 regionals (both of which playing through the 3rd match of Finals), IRI, and a couple of additional off-seasons, we haven't had to touch our drive train.
