That wasn't a problem so much as it was an understood design flaw. The wheels in that photo were made from acrylic, a material that is far more fragile than polyethylene. They were made quickly as prototypes and were being run on a prototype chassis. Our competition-legal wheels are made from delrin and aluminum.
