I have opted to epoxy the hubs prior to them breaking. This way I know they are strong and the hub is centered. Cannot believe polaris does not fix these wheels. They must be wondering "how come we sold 10,000 units and 40,000 wheels

if using the marine epoxy - make sure you do not get any above the inside ring as it will hinder the white plastic sleeve the wheel goes into. See the video above. I have software engineering background and I wondered myself why the bot does not "learn" the pool area. you could cut down on 1.5...

I would say it is not pool water temp at all. It is thin plastic material around the hub. I built models when I was 10 with more plastic. Any bump putting it away on the cart slowly cracks the wheel. I reinforced my own wheels - polaris could care less about my support calls. I took the wheel...

Yes in 2013 they still have the problem with breaking wheels. just three months of use I had a drowned, crippled 9300 in the deep end. Wheels are a joke!! very thin at the hub. I filled the outside hub with Marine Epoxy hoping to reinforce them. good so far. but stay away from this machine -...

This is a bad choice. After three months the wheel broke - the hub is just 9 mil thick (three sheets of plastic film). Lots of reviews on line about these poorly manufactured wheels. I filled the hubs with Marine Epoxy to reinforce the weak spot. But stay away from this robot - it is junk and...
