Yeah, I was playing with a wheel yesterday and the only non uniform part i noticed was the grain of the plastic, to me it seemed like there was a substantial difference between the wheel sliding inline with itself and it sliding along its axis


Well, now that I think about it, would just running your wheels backwards give u better stopping than turning your wheels sideways???
