Installation is more that just putting them on the pins. You have to dremel away some material from the pins in order to slide the bearings on. It is a careful process so you don't overdo removing material...Take a little from all around and try...Take a little and try...Take a little and try...So forth...

Manual suggests for 19t 28x128, I beleive. Just wanted to know if it's in the ball park.

Did you have to take off much, also do you think it is worth it, more rotating mass is more momentum but less punch right? Not that a few bearings makes a difference though... just wondering.

Hey Brant...I finally did IT!
Clipped an inside corner Tuesday night and went straight into a concrete curb at the edge of a the track. Tore off one corner of the car ripping a hinge pin block from the chassis plate. All fixed as of tonight for tomorrow's racing.
And my Farmers Insurance agent says it's not covered! So, I think i caught up to you (damage-wise) with this one...

With a 1/2" diameter x 1/2" long barrel-shaped ceramic grinding wheel on my Dremel, I went around each pin a total of 3-4 rotations pressing the wheel very lightly against the pin. Each time I did a complete rotation around the pin, I would check to see if the bearing would go on. You are trying to remove material from the entire length of each pin...Not just the end.
After I got the feel of what was needed to remove enough material from the pin, I was able to speed up the process significantly. Take your time because you don't want to take off too much.

And we normally gear around a 32-35 tooth pinion depending on the tightness of the infield and the motor. I would check with other racers at your track and just see what they are running. Good Luck!

Can anyone post Joel Johnson's JRX-S setup? Misplaced my issue where the setup is.
Thanx in advance

I guess it's the driver .. every set up is not for every driver .. I too set up my car stiff and have a better feel for the way it drives for me ... I did try softer set-up .. and found that it did transition quicker .. but then went back to a stiffer set-up made some droop adjustments and got the car to feel better for the way I drive .... as always not saying your a bad driver or the car is a bad car ... Hope you get it sorted out ... have fun at the races ,,
