I ment that I called up LEGO and they sent me a whole new set of wheels.
THey had no problem with it. After replacing the old SF wheels with the new,
I looked at what would cause the high friction. It looks like the outer most
diamater of the wheel was rubbing on the frame.
Hope that clears that up.
