Re: VEXPro - After the season
All,
The VEXpro wheel hubs (including Mecanum Wheels) are all made from glass filled Nylon. One of the many reasons we used glass filled Nylon was so that thread locker (specifically, Loctite 242 or equivalent) can be used.
We will make it more clear in our documentation, but in all cases when using steel screws with aluminum or steel mating parts, thread locker should be used. There is nothing in the standoffs inside the wheels to physically lock the screws.
I highly recommend using thread locker with all of our hex standoffs in all of the VEXpro wheels.
