rolling wheels in your trucks. There’s no guarantee replace-
ment metal wheels will roll any better if they’re a tight fit in

After hearing this, Steve said, “Thanks guys for all of the
replies. I got a product called ’The Tool’ ... I gave each axle a
spin … I found that the axle would free spin about 1 to 3 sec-
onds and come to an abrupt stop.I was surprised how much
plastic I would remove. The sooner the axle stopped during
the free spin, the more plastic I took off. I gave each a spin
after using The Tool on both axles and found that they would
free spin about 5 to 10 seconds and slowly wind down to a
stop. There was also a noticeable torque feel to the truck
that wasn’t there before, kind of like what a top or gyro
would give off. This has to translate to some improvement in
performance.”
