I don't think there are any aftermarket companies that manufacture their own bearings are there?

Some thought…

Sins I don’t race anymore, drag isn’t a problem!
To strip down the whole car after 20-25 minutes of bashing, that’s a drag!

My conclusion: There is no real resound not to choose the Avid Revolution bearings ore similar bearings.

Just found a seller on ebay that has a full set for a 10t . Asking 17.50 which includes shippjng. Any thought on the rubber sealed or price?

Last post

Just followed the link onthe revolution bearings .. love the idea of being able to take out the rubber side n put metal in its place if you want.

I agree, I think I will give them a shot.

any reason to use one or the other? I usually buy the rubber sealed from avid but since I need to get some hardware from mcmaster and all I saw from them was metal sealed ones.

Last post

Personally, I have tried both and found that when you are driving there is no discernible difference. However, when you are driving it in, snow, mud, dirt, gravel like I have, the rubber sealed bearings make a huge difference in the wheels. Where...

For a Procat diff. Is there any alternative to these paper friction discs? I would have every sort of paper up here so I could easily make my own. I've seen reference to using 1000 grade sandpaper, but I'm not mad about the idea of doing this......

Well I dunno if I could call it 'Pro', -more Am than pro!, but she's a runner! Great!
Bit of fiddling to get the front belt tension running centrally around the front pulley, that's good now but something is not right yet, maybe an alignment issue,...

It appears that Apex Models, Revolution Models and Wheelspin Models (all in the UK) are advertising the Losi XX Retrofit Transmission & Friction Slipper, part # A3050, for exactly the same price but what I want to know is would anyone (on here)...

You would have had the A3052 transmission set Ben?

Yes, that's the bad boy! All my RC gear (apart from the cars) got stolen at a National all those years ago, otherwise I would have still had this! :evil: :cry:

Nice price for the 12E Mr. Lexan.

Now Im wondering if I should toss mine on the bay now or not. It wont bring that much since its not sealed and only the #3010 kit. Its funny how a RTR doesnt come with a body. :D

Damn thats a sweet 12E, and its...
