Re: VEX Pro vs. AM Bearings

Quote:
We are experiencing this wobble in our shaft/bearing/wheel assemblies also, and it is pretty severe. With some experimentation we are confident the problem is with the hex hubs, and is not confined to just the bearings, although they may be contributing. We believe the hex broach is not square/perpendicular, and also possibly not concentric.
If you are experiencing these issues with any of your components please contact customer support and we will replace them

With that said, we have tested all the hubs that we have in inventory and we do not see this issue. In addition, we have not seen this issue with the shafts that you describe.

In any case, return the items you think are not to the appropriate dimensions and we will replace them.
