get dem bearings mon!

Post by gnubee »

the wheel slop on the car chassis is unreal. without bearings mine snowplowed forwards and backwards with all 4 wheels.

it is rock solid with the bearings.

i know, its 20 bux. but it is important to be able to choose where the car goes.

what i mean is-

if you run the car with the bushings all four wheels wobble-so it steers funny.

each wheel driveshaft has 2 sloppy bushings pre-installed for your inconvenience.

if you put the bearings on instead of the bushings the car steers better.

this is something most experienced rc car hobbyists have seen.

probably not ever this bad though.



both bearings belong wheel alla time bigpela. bushings no rot.

Okay, that was readable. Post like that to begin with.


Yeah, bearings should pretty much be the first hopup on any RC car that can take them.
