[Lil' Lavery]

116 opted to try out the IFI wheels last year as well. We used 2x 8"x1" in the front and 2x 8"x2" in the rear. We too had some problems with the nuts coming loose and even falling out (even with loc-tite). Even with the wheels protected by the frame and bumpers, they took some warpage along the 3 outer plates (hopefully this new design will fix that). Finally, during QF 2-2 at Peachtree we had a tread come loose. One of the rivets holding the end of it on actually sheared in half. Due to being unable to remove the half still attached to the wheel, and not having the foresight to bring out a spare from the pit (and our design probably not giving us the time to switch out the wheel), we were forced to wire tie the tread back to our wheel for QF 2-3 (which sadly, because of an error on my part, the drive motors were not plugged in, and we lost).
