There is WAY to much friction on these new wheels.

8644 is the lightest of the four racers. Mine has occasional hydroplaning where

Mousepad works fine for the lightest (8644). Which I think is the coolest Lego

I see one wheel that freezes up on my 8643. Now I agree there is a problem.. but
it's not the wheel, it's the occasional peg.

Maybe the idea is you have to tune your racers.

Graphite anyone?
