Starting last year, AndyMark stopped offering them, and only sells 8 inch mecanums that are 3.5 inches across. If anyone has the 8 inch mecanum wheels that are 2.5 inches across, please reply to this thread or contact us.

The drivetrain that we designed is built around the 2.5 inch wide 8 inch mecanum wheels, and we only have 4 of them.We already designed a drivetrain using the old mecanums, and dont want to have to buy 2 new sets and also have to rework the drivetrain. We would really appreciate if anyone who has a set of old mecanum wheels, 8 inches in diameter, and 2.5 inches across could reply back, and we could work out a sale or exchange.

Thanks for your help,

At our meeting tonight I will check to see if we have any of the old 8-inch diameter, 2.5-inch mechanums. I think we have a might have a few of that size laying around, and if we do I don't see why we would need them, but I'll need to check with our mechanical team first. I will contact you later today with more details.

If there is anything else you guys need don't hesitate to send me a PM. Can't wait to see you guys at Greater DC in only 2 months!
