Just a question about the wheels.
Can in you in future put the smooth side of the wheel so it faces out and the liquid leveled side on the inside when its screwed onto the drill shaft?
Or to put it simply just trun the hub the other way around. _________________ Tim Team Reaper.

?? my wheels have no smooth side etc. they both feel the same really.
hmm might get an all black set when i need to get a new pair of wheels. then all ill need to do is paint the lid black and ill have the robot version of a b-2 bomber _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

in light of glens problem you may want to put a *light* coating of some kind of grease onto the hubs. some kind of long lasting but thin type substance?
we have tried lithium grease but dont currently have a robot to test it on _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets

*ATTENTION*
do not use the type of left hand screws with the pan head on them. use only the counter sunk type left hand threads as the pan head type are to long to work with jakes wheels. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

jake can fill you in on that but i think that retreading a wheel is a bad idea, it probably wont hold on well.

i was thinking i could put some screws in the hubs with the heads sticking out so the polyurathane has more to hold onto. _________________ Tim Team Reaper.

You would be better off to cut grooves around the wheels to give more surface area for the urethane to key into and possibly less weight. Colson tread it very tough, but spinning one against a rough hacksaw blade should give you a groove quickly. _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

i mean when it wears down to much take off the rest of the tread and retread it with the polyurathane. _________________ Tim Team Reaper.
