you use the wide tracks on the wheels.On the front inside and outer but on the back just the outside.If you have AWD you can only use the wide track berings on the outer.All the other bearing go in the stock locations of the bushings.The bearing reduces friction which ultimally robs power and the friction will make you batts run out quicker.And if you have a carbon fiber drive shaft , it will eventually eat through the shaft holder stock bushing.And the wide track bearings run straighter and handle better.

Default Bearings

I tried a set of sheilded bearings from TinyRC and they work extremely well.

In this vehicle.

The Aluminum rims create Loads of momentum. The free spin on the rims is great. The motor in this 4WD car is the purple RS stage 2. I have another purple one that I put NEO mags in. I have to try it tomm.

The bearings on this one is from RS and need a washer before the nut.

But this Vette is Faster since it has 4WD and the High Torque 180 motor.

I am going to try a new suspension setup on both of them too... since is works so well on the third CF Chassis in 2WD.
