Default RE: Bent wheel

Bought it from Tower, but am living too far away for a return.

Problem is that when I put it on when new, I did not check if they ok.
So not sure it is bad manufaturing or I bend something during a bad landing.

myrcsupply, did make sure that the hex is sitting properly.
I used one of the other wheel on that axle, and it runs true.
Have make sure that stub axle is not bend, by using the original HPI wheel
Even put the bent wheel on another axle and it still is wobbly

I am wondering if anybody else has this problem, and looks like nobody does.
So I would be assuming that it is a bad landing that causes this.
But looking at the wheel, it sure is build strong, more likely to crack than to bend like this

Looks like it is out with the dremel tool and try to file off some material in the hex hole on the wheel to make it run true.
Hopefully I can get it to run true, without filing too much off.
