Dose Kyosho supply those kinds of bearings, or will I have to find another supplier, like acer racing?

Great I'll add that to my list, when I go to my LHS.

I had issues putting the same bearings to my GT2 tranny that I used in my GT1. I also tried several different bearings that I had used. Based on this I'd say there's a slight difference in the axle width. Given this, I'd say the gears are more tight and there's less need for bearings there. Bushings will do their job fine.

The "spec" rules that I have run in Memphis and Jackson are slightly different. In Memphis, you can change the radio gear, add a rechargable RX pack, change the shock and diff oils, add sway bars and turnbuckles (Kyosho brand only), and change tires, but the chassis, engine, and basic car had to be straight out of the box (ie: no milling of the chassis or drilling extra holes for adjustments that can't be done straight out of the box). In Jackson, MS, the rules are the same except race management has allowed us to change the engine. However, the engine has to come from the list of approved ones that race management chose (the engines were less than $180). But, if you wanted to run the box stock radio gear in Memphis, that was fine and if you wanted to run the box stock radio gear and engine in Jackson, that was fine too. So, I had to have the box stock engine for Memphis and chose an approved engine to run in Jackson. Both places decided not to do an "open" class to do the mods that many of you have done to help keep the class from becoming money pits like many of the other classes have become.
Spec class is what you make of it but there have to be some limiting rules or else things will get out of hand and then participation will diminish quickly because many will not have the resources or funds to keep up with the top individuals that do have both.

The engines on the "spec" list for the Jackson, MS Bass Pro race is as follows:
1. OS .21VG-X, part # OSMG 2059
2. Sportwerks .26 V2 pull start, part # SWK 8085
3. Dynamite Mach .26 pull start, part # DYN 0887
4. Dynamite Mach 427 pull start, part # DYN 0895 (new proposed for 2009)
5. OFNA Force .28 pull start, part #52217 (new proposed for 2009)
6. Axial .28 spec 1s pull start, part #AX001 (green), part #AX002 (black) (new proposed for 2009)
All of the engines are low cost and can be found or obtained by most hobby shops. The Sportwerks engine has been discontinued by the manufacturer but since you can still obtain it, it will be included until parts for it are unobtainable.
