Hey everyone, thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

I purchased an additional Solo kit, did a quick inspection, and discovered one of the motor pods is significantly rougher/bumpier than the others. (The 3 others all have very similar resistance when turned). Also, on my other setup, they too have similar resistance when rotated (not too smooth, not too "bumpy").

There isn't any grittiness while turning by hand, no noise (but, I haven't started her up yet), it just feels almost like stronger magnets than the others - if that makes sense.

Or possibly the bearing was pressed incorrectly and the balls can't move freely enough along the races? Should I be concerned?

Hopefully not a dumb question...just worried about vibration and/or pre-mature failure. Thanks again!
