Re: Issues with Vex clamp on gearbox and 4 inch wheel

Of course I understand all of the math behind what is going on, the 13:70 is one I was looking to switch to as well. And probably the easiest to do.

Like I said we had very little wear on our wheels just surprised to see Vex suggest a reduction that gives you maybe a day of driving then all of the wheels would need to be replaced. This is the first year I have used vex mecanum wheels and they so far are not holding up well.

I would like to hear about other teams that are using the same setup and see if they are experiencing similar troubles.
