Problem in Building Robot - simple manipulator tutorial

I followed this tutorial on making a simple manipulator robot.

I did get the end product similar with the picture.. However, it was just initially. After 10 seconds, the wheels teared apart into this: image description

What is the problem?? Is the load too heavy? but I followed the tutorial exactly. Any of you got this problem too?

Would you mind posting the SDF of the model? What's the output of gazebo --version?

Adding the tag for inertia under the link tag solved it for me

for example:

<inertial>
        <mass>3.0</mass>
        <pose>-0 0 0 0 0 0</pose>
        <inertia>
          <ixx>0.012</ixx>
          <iyy>0.012</iyy>
          <izz>0.02344</izz>
          <ixy>0</ixy>
          <ixz>0</ixz>
          <iyz>0</iyz>
        </inertia>
      </inertial>
