Hi guys,
I just bought a RoC Heatseek Missile System from a fellow 'Tanker. It's in pretty much perfect condition, for the most part, except for the retractable stand used to hold the command console--the business end is worn down, and has an indentation in it from the axle. It looks like there simply isn't enough clearance in the chassis for the stand to fit without grinding against the metal axle (which not only damages the stand, but prevents free wheeling of the launcher). Is this a known or common problem with this item? Yojoe doesn't mention this part as prone to damage or breakage. Is there any workaround for improving the fit other than filing the stand to make it more narrow? Or, does anybody know of a custom caster who might produce a stand with a smaller profile that would fit more easily? Thanks in advance!

Just angle it up a bit when placing in the slot. All mine do that, but I never "play" with them causing them to rub.

I tried angling it, but it doesn't stay in place. It just falls out the back when doing that, since there's nothing really for it to "grip" onto. Baffling design decision, considering it can only roll when it's meant to be set up and therefore stationary.
