Re: VEXPro - After the season

We used the chassis in a day, 6 versa wheels, sprockets, and the ball shifters. I only had a run with one of the products, the ball shifters. The ball shifter worked great!! After having to replace the output shafts we first got. When our event rolled around our driver put those things to the test and near the end of quals on Saturday he had trouble shifting on one side and started to drive in arcs. This was due to a loose piston mount. Easy fix right?? Just tighten some screws, well unlike all the other incredibly easy to access screws in the shifter you have to take the whole gear box apart to access the heads of the screws. This was incredibly difficult to do on the fly and during competition thank fully a pit crew member was able to spin the stand off in a way that tightened it up (and thankfully he also put some lock tight on it). Out of all the vex pro products the ball shifter was the only we had minor discrepancys with but with some use of lock tight it was all better. I can not tell you how much of a difference those ball shifter made this season they were truly great!
