Honestly rhis is the first problem. I just thought they would have the same policy of refunding the money of parts not in stock or giving you the optoin to wait like I have experienced w/ rc-mushroom and rc-union.
I think I will just keep emailing them, I don't think such a big company is out to jip you, I just wish it would be a smoother transaction. I shouldn't have to be on their case to get feedback.

Bearings
I had a bad bearing giving me lots of handeling probs. It had partially siezed and my car would spin out in erratic moments entering or exiting fast corners. It also caused the tire to chunk.
What do you guys recommend for cleaning and bearing maintenace? I know this is a simple querstion, but do you guys clean then after each race/practice day?

6x12 bearing
Yeah, that's the particular bearing that failed. Are all the company bearings the same, I got a complete metal shielded bearing set, I was just wondering if rubber shielded is better?
But the set was like 20 bucks, not too expensive and I will have like 8 of them so I hope not to have the problem w/o remedy for next time.

I got 2 RR conversion kits ordered and no notice if it will ever be in stock again, nor whether they will refund. RC-Union sends you a notice that it isn't in stock and the refund immediately- at least they did w/ me. But RCModel still has about $120 and no responses about what they are going to do. Got to email them again

Yeh from what I hear, I got my RR converion kit in the last shippment from RC-union of them. Theres nothing special about the kit, you can buy all the parts on their own though, you just dont get the instructions.
One thing I havent found yet are RR sticker sheets anywhere.
