There are lots of posts on the forum about wheel upgrades. Just use the search tool and enter “wheel upgrades” and you’ll get a ton of information. I don’t know why Recteq doesn’t fix the wheel problem. At least offer an upgrade when you purchase the grill.

They do offer an upgrade - the competition cart.

Yup. Sad, but true, this is the way.

Yeah, I have the competition cart. I figured @Bmmcdaid was looking for a better wheel upgrade to what he already had.
This is what I recently bought off Amazon based on a forum post from a while back.
DICASAL 3 Inch Heavy Duty Stem... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B1JPLZM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I recently had one of my swivel wheels go bad (loses the metal bearings)…again. It appears to be the same one as about a year ago…the rear wheel on the smokestack end of my RT-700…which is about 4 years old.
I suspect the failure is based on when I roll my Bull out of my screened porch across the cement patio to the outside (cement) patio and goes across/through one of the cement spacer gaps. It’s also where I’m making a turn. There’s nothing “special” about this spacer gap. It’s what I typically see on all cement sidewalks, driveways, etc. But I guess the weight of the Bull while turning across the spacer gap puts a lot of stress on that particular wheel as it is the outside wheel when making that turn.
Recteq had sent me replacement wheels each time. But I bought a set of these other wheels to see if they’re any sturdier. I’ve only had them on about 4 weeks and I’ve only done 2 cooks in that time…equating to moving the grill just twice.
I have had no issues with the two non-swivel wheels.
I hope this helps in some way.
