We are currently working on a fix but plastic part revisions have a significant lead time, due to the shortened life span we have highly discounted the replacement roller kits to keep teams rolling.
The VEXpro Hex stock is 7075 Aluminum vs the "Churro" which is 6063, very different materials for different jobs.

Did you take into account that an octocanum will essentially drop the robot on the mecanum wheels when you switch, I think that would shorten the life span a little?
Also, this is another case where a 8 motor (4 cim, 4 minicim) drive mess up the vex mecanum wheels. So far 8 motor drives have been the one thing that is the same with all these cases.
