Victa really cheaped out with alot of the tornado stuff. I have 2x PT tornados which are both of lower end - one is a pace the other a charger I think.
Both have those same wheels with that style hubcap, and neither even have a removable nylon bushing - just a holde drilled into the wheel. Nylon is fairly self lubricating, but this stuff obviously isn't. They are 15 year old, one has done little work, the other its fair share, but they both have more slop in the wheels than any other victa I have ever seen.
I pulled the wheels off the better one, put a bit of PTFE bearing grease one the axles and will see what affect it has.
Then they somehow chew through the rabbit ear type circlip things, so there is lateral play as well
Norm, is a shame his is rough with everything. Hopefully he doesn't break the chassis in half, but I think you have beefed it up enough to hopefully prevent that.
Never understand how people can be so careless with tools of their trade that they rely on.
