The tread is put on in halfs, so that we can split the wheel off the axle. The tops and bottom of the wheels induce some vibration, but it's not too bad.
If you want a comparison, watch
this video from PNW champs (Before 6wd)

Then this video from CMP where the robot was full 6wd (Note that the mount for the Gopro changed, so there was some more vibration from that as well)

I was wondering how you put the tread back on. Once the tread is on, the wheel is one piece, right? Do you attach tread while on the axle?
