And for reference, they just barely fit on the Andymark Nanotube output shafts for direct drive (I don't think we had to get the longer shafts, but that was a while ago).
I was thinking about purchasing a set of 8" Mecanums for my team. I was just wondering why there is such a significant disparity in price between the ones VEXpro sell and the ones AndyMark sell. Does anyone know if there is a comparable quality difference as well?
