being at home by myself with my 19mth old while my wife is at an all girls slamboree kinda caught me off guard in the attention-span area. No biggie though, like I said before, I gotta ROLL wit' it. I got plenty of bodies though

Hey guys,

The bearings in my cgm are getting pretty bad. I have always wanted to pick up a set of ceramics, do they really seem like they are worth the money? Is any brand better than another?

Thanks,

Blake

I have the Yokomo ceramics in my car and they're great. I had the Acer ceramics and I didn't really like the seals in them, some bearings seemed to hang up when I installed them. The axle bearings still get chewed up just because they're so thin though. For me the best 6X10 bearing is the Yokomo teflon sealed ones, they seem to last the longest in the axles.

Errr...my CGM tend to be on the noisy side...I've noticed TC3 and pro4 at my local track and they're not that noisy. I've also noticed some local boys here with SD and theirs are not quite that noisy too...asked them but not sharing

Any clues boys ? shimming the gears ?

Thanks

hi bro! how many grams do you lose doing that?

Well I've found that even on the bench it makes a lot of noise due to the sloppy fit of the dogbone ball end in the outdrive so I got the insulation off some 14 gauge motor wire and cut very thin rings approx 7/20th of a mm thick and put then on the dogbone pins to stop them rattling.

Hope that helps.

Oh and the kit shimming when used with a silver can 540 motor and the kit is new...I don't think so I actually want the diffs to be able to move. The kit shimming literally stoped mine even by hand turning.

Look closely at your spur gear and pinion. If there is any damage to either one, that can create a lot of noise sometimes. Just replacing the spur can fix it, even though it may look fine.

I second that: I have some 6x10 ceramics (for the axles) that I save for big races, but I agree the Yokomo teflons really hold up better than anything else I have tried for the axle bearings.

Also could be the front gears going out. Open the tranny case and inspect the bevel gears for wear, and bits of plastic inside the case.
