also, what are the ball ends used there?? I mean the grey cups that sit on the balls.

Also, what turnbuckles are used there too. I really wanna get some more of this blue on my car!!
Yes, they do. We got the blue ones and they are an exact tree copy.

I got a quick fix on that! Chris... pass by my place and I'll spray those covers with a light coat of Le Mans Pink... just your fave choice of color... (Yo Jeffrey, how are you? )

Hey Ian! Congrates on the TCS win. I want to hear all about the trip to Japan next time I see you. In fact, when is the next time you all doing the Mabuchi race? I want to race too!

the clear covers look great! its abit too expensive though and having it shipped to the philippines would add to the cost.oh well, i guess looking at the gears turn are just way off the budget right now. hey hebiki, the more agressive the better!hehehehe send it to me. might like it.

that'd be a good idea! it'll match the rest of the pink on my car.. although i should have just reanodized the entire car PINK!

F.Alonso:
i do have the support posts (clear ones) but i opted to use on black one since it was threaded already. i tried using the clear one that came with the covers.. but it was kinda hard to tighten down and i didnt want to snap them in half, break or strip them. so i just saved it. im only running ONE support since i dont need the car to be UBER stiff. (asphalt racing).

grey/gray cups are tamiya. it comes with the flourine coated ball studs and ends. they're the low friction ones. it shaved off .0000000001 from each of my lap times! seriously, they're just super smooth and i figured might as well have them!

turnbuckles are all tamiya (left over from my old 415, (may she rest in peace)) i wouldnt recommend them tho. although very very light, the bend very easily. im gonna switch those out to the tamiya Ti ones (like my steering turnbuckles, Tamiya Ti. (3x18mm)

blue stuff on the shocks are more vital tho. threaded for easier tightening.

Hey guys, I just talked to Jason @ BMI racing. He said he might be interested in making a thicker "BMI" chassis for this car. I hope he does, because it really needs it!

Can someone please inform which is the part number for squat gold bearings 1510?

Also these bearings, do you open them and clean them and if yes, how often?

Thanks
John.

I can get the part # for you ...but it will be after I get of of work...and as far as Mainit. on them.... "DO NOT OPEN THEM UP"!! Just spary/pressure clean them out and 2-3 drops of Royal Oil about every 10-15packs ..... These bearings are the best I have used hands down...... now if only I could find out who makes them in China
