High speed treaded wheel safety warning

[JB987]

Thought I would share a lesson learned the hard way. All of the posts and videos relating to prototype testing of wheel shooters being hand fed has prompted me to share the results of tread connection failure on an AndyMark custom wheel with traction tread attached in standard way by rivets...please, please consider the possible separation of tread that is not rated for some of the high speed tests many of us have been running...the result- I have a broken thumb and am going to lose my thumbnail. At least use a stick or other device to load your shooter when using wheels with attached treads!


Edit: I have contacted Team Support and asked them to pass the warning along. Hopefully we see it in the next blog or team blast since most exposure is occurring now during the development stage...
