ok - i hate doing this, but...
is this the thrust bearing - F103 / F104 1 Piece Ball Thrust Bearing - that every one uses to make the F104 diff's better??
I need to finally look at make my rear diff smoother - will this give a little more adjustment range?? I know mine is kind of sensitive for nut movement

Usually we run harder fronts and soft rears.. Maybe good for version II?
Anybody got feedbacks on this?

they are the same ones as the Pit Shumi 571/572 tires..the soft fronts/hard rears work incredibly - just something about them
they say 'for TCS' because tamiya is offering them as another tire option for TCS racing - the difference between the Pit and Tamiya? tamiya's say 'TCS' on the sidewalls while the Pit are smooth

The Thrust bearing from Tamiya works well, but even better one is this (easier to clean and lubricate, seems to last well in my X1 and PRO also) http://www.avidrc.com/product/13/thr...-bearings.html
I get all my bearings from them, no bad bearings so far.

Great! Now to check if it legal for our local tamiya races and get them to test it out then.
