Manufacturing spec change causes unwanted result

I have ordered this item two times and kept each shipments which seems to suggest an overall satisfaction. However, the vendor did not mention a change in the specs of the plastic tire by enlarging its inner dimension of the hole where the 2mm axle gets inserted. Is this a problem? Well, yes, because it used to lock into place via friction. I have decided to keep the last shipment even though the tires slide right off but now I am forced to glue it. Problem? Well, now you have to purchase and use a CA glue like Super Glue which is problematic in safe handling as well as having kids around this product. Even if glue does the job of securing, the tires roll more wobbly because the large opening prevents the axle to set at 90° to the tire. My preference is to complete the project with less requirements and material, ie., without gluing.

Pros
  • They work for making hobby crafts and science projects. The axles attach very easy.
Cons
  • Limited weight capacity: The wheels have a limited weight capacity, which means they may not be suitable for larger models or vehicles that require more robust parts to support their weight
