I got my vq retracts deliverd not long ago and i quickly checked mine for play after seeing this video as the vq retracts are not cheap and had me thinking i just wasted my money but i dont have any play in mine, the plastic wheel rim and the soft tyres are crap and they flex alot. I upgraded to aluminium rims and a harder tyre and thay are now perfect, no flex. Maybe try a aluminium rim with a bearing fitted and ya might be able to save ya retracts instead of shelving expensive retracts. Just a though as it worked for me.
