IIRC there are only two different ID sizes and you can get these bearings as a complete set rather than individual sizes.

No need for ceramic bearings. It’s just a waste of money because they do so little for performance on a Mini-Z in my opinion.

Got them on rtr and saw a difference.

Took the rtr and mr04 to track. The mr04 evo handles like a dream

looking for some drifting setup tips. have an ma-020 90mm chassis. its stock with soft (red) front springs and a locked rear diff. it initiates well, but doesn't like to maintain a drift all the way through the corner. it keeps wanting to straighten out. if i try to use anymore throttle or anymore steering it spins out. any ideas? mostly driving on smooth semi slick concrete

Default Ball Diff Lube
Originally Posted by EMU
ball diff was built with associated black grease. This was not the primary car that I had prepared for the event. But, preliminary testing had it 2-3 tenths in pace over the purpose built car in the hands of my codriver. After a few changes in the McLaren were clearly not as fast as this car on pace and ease of drivability, the choice was made to move to the LM platform. We drove a mazda 787b, the other three cars ri make up the field were sauber c9's. I was about 1 tenth difference in pace between both cars, but the LM was much more consistent in testing and could run similar lap times 25m into a stint in testing as it could early in the stint.

the diff issue was less having too do with grease and more to do with impact damage. Inspection after the race of the first set of wheels that were swapped off having a cracked hub from the rear right wheel. I think this had a lot to do with how the diff acted in the race. Lessons were definitely learned for the next time.

Recommendation for ball diff grease for PN2049, and ball diff on EVO? Are there advantage/disadvantages to specific weights? Running on RCP mini 96 track at home… but interested to hear from experienced racers….

I use Kyosho ball diff grease. Gear diffs you can use different weight greases, but ball diffs you want ball diff grease.

Has anyone tried the new PN Thrust Bearing #600126t for the Ball/Gear Diffs?
Also, how about the new covered spurs for their gear diffs? I like the PN Gear Diffs, and while they are easy to clean being open designed, but also get dirty quickly with soft tires. So I'm wondering if the new covered spurs help or just make it harder to clean when necessary?
Thanks and Hope All are WARM!

I have two CE Turbo Matchers that stopped working. Each one has a single port that stopped working and makes the whole thing worthless. I am looking for someone that might be able to fix them. This is Mike Keely in MD near Washington DC. Please let me know if you or someone you know has and knowledge of these. Thanks MK
