Re: Andymark Pneumatic wheel problems

we have since changed wheels for some more consistent and faster, but we were wondering if anyone else had tried to use them and found the same problems? and if anyone has, have you found a solution?

At first, we thought we had the same problem. We then strengthened the motor mount we made, and the shaking almost disappeared. Just tighten it up, or attach it better i guess ?
