Default Re: Bearings

DO NOT USE BALL BEARINGS IN THE SHIFT HUBS they are not designed to slide . the id tolerance is tighter then the bushings and can cause shift problems .

Default Re: Bearings

WOW!! I must really be in the minority. I use bearings everywhere there is a bushing. Did lots of R/C car racing and it was a must then so I just kept on using bearings. I raced on dirt, asphalt, cement and on carpet. No comparison between cars with bearing and one with bushings. Bearings always ruled. Only drawback to bearings in the trucks and in the tanks, is you have to get bearings that have plastic compatable grease in them or you will destroy the wheels on a truck or the roadwheels on a tank.
