It probably is, what was the max rpm you were able to run yours at without breaking? We got ours up to a little under 10,000rpm for about 20sec before the wheel split. Even if your wheels are perfectly concentric I don't know if I'd recommend running it at that kind of speed, the amount that wheel stretches is a little unnerving
