It's worth noting that ThunderHex is actually supposed to fit really tight, as theoretically it eliminates the need for collars and can fricton-fit through holes meant for round shaft. We use a ton of it on our robot and we never needed to sand it down to fit.

However, looking at the webpage I do see their notice that their current inventory is oversized due to a manufacturer error, and I do see how working with that could be a bit of a nightmare
