All our bearings have the sizes in the designation: for example B63ZZ - 6x3mm - bearings for sway bar holders and for belt tensioner.
B63SS - MR63ZZ Bearing x 2 ? AWESOMATIX

B415 - 4x1,5 mm bearings for UB1 and for IFJ and IRJ.
B415 - 4x1.5mm ball bearings x 8 ? AWESOMATIX

What is the best method for taking up the slop between the p03's and the carbon arms? The latest batch of long arms do not fit tightly. Glue? Plastic bag?

700evo setup help

Hey guys, I know this page is for the 800's, but I was wondering if you guys knew of any up to date setups for a 700evo on this black rug? I know there's some on petric rc, but they're all old "like the car I understand", just seeing if there's any new ones for a vta car out there that you may know of, or should I just use some of the 800's setup sheets as far as dampener and spring settings and roll centers? It's been awhile since I've raced them, I took a break from racing, and I'm looking to use my old cars again. Any other tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated too! Thanks in advance!
