Re: Bearings Falling off
Back when I was younger (2008) I remember having a similar issue with AL Hex stock (lathed into live axles) being slightly undersized and as a result slipping right through the AM performance wheels/hubs... Some PVC spacers did the trick.

For extra resilience, Some AL round stock can be drilled out and cut with a lathe to make some really nice spacers.
