Hmm, cracked wheels... never has that happened to me, although sometimes the
axles don't work, and this is because the axles have slits on the stick
parts to let the wheels on and stay on, but only slightly so you can take
them off. if you press the two things on the end together for too long, your
axle will be damaged and any wheel on that side of the axle will not roll
well. Also if you pry them apart AT ALL, your wheels with either NOT BE ABLE
TO GET ON THE AXLE ANYMORE, THEY WILL NOT ROLL WELL, OR YOU MIGHT JUST PRESS
THEM BACK TOGETHER. ALTHOUGH IF YOU DO PRESS THEM TOGETHER, THE WHEELS MOST
LIKELY WILL NOT ROLL WELL!!!
