I know that Speedtechrc.com has them for I think $370, and that is one of the lowest prices I have seen.

The bearing that come with car are great bearings. Maybe your belts are to tight. My drive train is as nearly as free as most shaft driven cars. Also , If you haven't driven yet. Drive it around 3 to 5 times, everything should free up by then.

The bearingsin the car are free...don't worry about how long your wheels will spin....the goal is efficient transmission of power, for which the belt does a fantastic job....

Spinning wheels is for bench racing only...and it's only one category of bench racing....get some steel or lead filled wheels and blow away ALL your friends as they're amazed by how long your wheels spin due to the flywheel effect

for Stock I'm running my belts full loose and it's perfect...

Do you mean lock the multi-diff, or lock a standard diff?
