huh... I gotta buggy a while ago and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why all the shields were gone!slotcarrod wrote:One trick that I do to my racing RC cars is to remove the inner shield from the bearings (grease flushed of course and lubed with a light quality oil). The reason is less resistance on the balls and race of the bearing.If you do this you need to keep on top of your maintenance, that you should do anyway! I do this trick with my sons racing MX bikes as well, wheels spin with much less resistance! NOTICE only the INNER shield is removed!
You still need to keep dust out with the outer shield!
Well.... Reggie said it's better, so it had to be done!
