Those will be changed to the same durometer before competition. We were testing the differences between the two wheels.

Is absorbing some of the energy with your shaft part of your design for a high powered intake?
We changed and will be using black VEXpro hex for the shaft. Churro tube was easier to prototype at the time but not competition worthy.
