Re: Mecanum wheels - bearings?

Hmm, those look new. I noticed them on the AM website this morning.

Two years back, the 1/2" bearing was what we were forced to use and we had to bore out the (IFI) chassis to do so.

What you might consider is using hubs and having a live axle directly off the gearbox.
