Bro! Thank you for making this video! I bought this cart over a year ago after watching Caleb Pikes video on it, and he said he replaced the wheels of the cart, so I thought "ok sweet I'll do that same thing" I could NOT figure out how to get the original casters off. Now I know! Lifesaver! I'll probably get some off road type casters. I'm always having to drag it over rocks a gravel at wedding venues.

@@Ootini4 the regular Olympia has a thread system. So you can put in any of these casters that have the same thread size. However the xl, has a locking system, no threads. And that’s why you have to mod it.

Great that it is possible to do! I just purchased the smaller one (with the red handles) and the first thing that annoyed me was the tiny wheels. Since I do a lot of outdoor work (sometimes on beaches!), I need wheels that don't quit on me as soon as they run into a simple pebble...

Nice mod! Had to chuckle at seeing there's a whole 2000+ member FB group for modding this cart. As much as I'd like to have better castors, I kind of look at it like putting Ferrari wheels on a Ford truck. At what point should I just consider getting a professional cart that'll last me forever?
@davidmorefield
Жыл бұрын
Well the casters are $100 so it’s like putting Toyota tires on a Suzuki. Definitely a worthy upgrade. If you have the $ for an inovativ, then that would be an amazing asset. But it’s like 15x the price of the Olympia.
