Ceramic bearing for an off road buggy are a waist of money Steve, just get good normal bearing with rubber seals. Also grease the bearings instead of oil.

The bearing replacement kit for the 22 is around $40, I would just replace all the bearings every season and be golden, I did on my 22T last year and it was like a new truck, couldn't believe it

Just picked up a big box of 4x4 buggy at the greyhound and it got me thinking, what classes are people planning to run this season. Post em up so we all know what will be big. I plan on running 2 and 4wd buggy and if it runs 2wd short course. Mason will be running 2wd and 4wd short course.

Also as I side note I have a spare 2wd short course collecting dust so it will be at the track to be used by any newcomers that might come check it out.
