I snapped a bellcrank in a really soft collision, this was after I stripped the grub screw out of the radial ackerman plate after a soft brush with the wall. After this I was thinking the steering was a real weak point, but then I installed the kimbrough medium saver and I've had some HUGE hits since without any further issue. I've even sanded the bellcrank down so I can run the servo in the forward mounts without a prob

Does anyone know a bearing co that is both reasonably priced and decent quality? My 10x15 bearings really haven't stood up to the rigors of racing, think I've only done 4-5 meets and they are cactus so I'd like to get some that will last a little longer
