Arg! PRID Vehicon and Knockout don't roll!

See below.

This is exactly what I was talking about in my last post. The wheels on the new Vehicon are mounted this same way. It definitely doesn't encourage rolling. Seeing as my Knock Out and Vehicon drag in no way, I'm attributing the lack of roll to how the wheels are mounted.

I wonder how easy it would be to put ball bearings in those kinds of wheels.

I thought of the same thing. I compared the wheels (Vehicon, Knockout) to Hot Shot, and while Hot Shot has the metal bar...rod thing...I don't know the name for it, the other two do not. Instead, their wheels are clamped in. Like a ball joint with fingers wrapped said joint. This really makes the wheels not want to free spin any, but if body parts are hanging too low, then that would also keep it from rolling.

Thankfully I'm not a child and don't actually play with these (other than transforming them), or I'd be pissed. lol

EDIT:

Thank you. You were able to explain it better.

On a semi-related note, I was really surprised by the amount of flash on the tires of Knock Out. There is a ridge of flash down the center of all 4 tires all the way around, which I haven't noticed on other PRiD cars.

Is this everyone's experience, or did it just happen to me?

^ If anyone is having trouble with figures rolling, ALWAYS check the tires for flash. Shaving that off will often solve the problem.

Maybe you transformed yours wrong but vehicle rolling has always been insignificant to me. I care more about how good the robot mode looks than if the vehicle can roll smoothly on the ground.

My Vehicon does not roll at all

ahhh, so you got an advance copy of the vehicon jet figure! you sly dog...

Oh, well. They'll roll just fine in my shopping cart.

I call BS. Every knows KO bats for the other team.
