BUMP in case anyone missed this. The first one is on my car now and will be raced tonight. Install was a breeze. My man Yeti will be making a bunch of these so get your requests in to him. Not sure what he will charge yet, but it will be worth it. He does this stuff for a living and the work is TOP QUALITY! Race report coming tomorrow.

So I have the entire rear end of the 210 apart on my coffee table, along with the shredded 2.5mm bearing, and no spares. So it has to sit there in pieces until my spares come from amain... I hope my wife doesn't kill me!
Lesson to you guys, buy your spare bearings BEFORE you need them

I just grabbed the power tools and removed the bearing its a 2.5mm. Your right the top shaft is very snug. Crisis averted!
I recieved an email that my new outdrives are on the way. The pic does not look as bad as it actually is. The pin is actually digging in deeper below the outer edge of the outdrive.

That is what my outdrives look like... they have about had it. I was hoping to get a lifespan out of these more like the B4 or RB5.... I HATE buying outdrives. The ones on my cougar were soft as well, and eventually got me to sell the car. I was buying a $20 set of outdrives every 3 weeks, and it just seemed silly... these don't seem to be much stronger.

It was a crapshoot with those..sometimes you would get a good set, sometimes they would last 2 or 3 race weekends..Glad those head aches are gone..Too bad too cuz the buggy drove nice..

I've never had one go so bad so quick and I've been actively racing for the last 11 years. I cannot count the number of cars I've built.

Oh that's right, you run at SDRC... id call that medium low traction myself, but yeah, you are running a lot of motor too. Normally mod will eat through outdrives much faster than stock....
What I wish they would develop, is an outdrive/CVD setup that uses hard plastic outdrive blades instead of little pins that wear a 1mm spot, like TCs.

I had that same bearing go out on me as well..... I replaced mine with a Kyosho part....check their parts list.... I got mine from a friend who had a bunch of 1/10 Kyosho bearings in his parts boxes....it was from an RB5 and I cant remember, but I thought it was a 3mm. Havent had a problem since I switched it.
