Hi everyone,

I've had my Ronin for a while now and I transport it a lot in the original DJI protective case. However, because of all the different terrains it has rolled over, the wheels are damaged a lot. Up to the point I really need to replace them. But the way the wheels are attachted I'm not able to get them off without breaking anything.

Has anyone else had this problem and knows how to replace the wheels? Or is there someone who knows how I can dettach the screws (which have nothing to put a screwdriver in)?

Thank you!

Hi, Joris. Can you take a picture about the situation for further analysis? Thanks for your help.

I was able to simply pound the axle pins out, similar to any Pelican/Storm case.

Unfortunately I can't find a proper replacement wheel. I have looked through Grainger, McMaster, Amazon, eBay. It seems the diameter is 64mm which is a common skate/luggage diameter, but the width is about 1.25" or 31mm which is a very strange width.  Is is possible to order replacement wheels directly from DJI? Axle diameter is 8mm.

Same here, both wheels melted on a hot summer day and do not turn anymore. The rubber has peeled off and parts of the plastic core has melted too. How can I get replacement wheels? Do not want to spend a lot of time and money sending in the big bulky case for repair, can do it myself.

I found a solution to the problem. My wheels also exploded a while back and I just now found a solution for it. Skateboard wheels have almost the same dimensions and work as replacements. I just fitted mine and the work great.

Thank you sir! I just replaced the wheels with my old skateboard wheels. They fit perfectly!
