Can you post a picture of how you've got the wheels set up at the moment so we can give a better suggestion on how to put them on

Is it a close fit because then a large pile of loctite might do the trick if you scuff up the hole a bit for more surface area.

Or you could just buy some blue wheels with a nut insert direct from robochallenge or second hand

or if they are wide i got some copper pipe that was in between the too and cut a slot down the side squashed one end in a vice and hammered it in to the wheels, i then cut it to size and pushed it on to my drill motor then i put a bolt through it.

Team RCC's Kashei uses a Speed 900 as axe-powering motor and a 3 stage reduction gearing with Mod 1 gears.
