What you saw was a symptom of the screws loosening. I'll double check our test models when I get home from school this weekend, and get back to you, but as long as the bolts are tight, this shouldn't be a problem.

Now lets please stay on the topic of the wheels. PM me with any questions regarding the chassis.
