The material is plastic rather than the classic satin rubber/plastic. It seems to be causing a slowdown. Pits on a straight run appear to be normal. Those on the curve appear to be in the wheel's path. The biggest culprit for slowdowns are the link holes. I have no idea why there is a hole for the connectors in the first place. I would not recommend this turning kit.
