I bought a trackball kit from Bob for my Millipede and the trackball does not roll as smooth as anticipated.
Tried everything, 3 in 1 oil to lube the bearings, power drill to "break them in" via Bob Robert's website, but the new bearings are nowhere close to some existing bearings that I have.
Example: If I spin the new bearing by flicking it with my finger, it spins about one rotation.
If I spin some existing bearings, they spin numerous times. If I had to guess, I would say 10 rotations. Really smooth.
The easy fix is to use the "old" bearings instead of the "new", but these new bearings should be like butta, right? All 6 bearings are like this. What I'm I missing?
Thank you in advance.
