yes, horizontal with the crank. so in and out, not "wobble" on the crank.

sometimes i have good luck with the $1 bearings. but usually dont last more than 1/2 gallon. ive ordered a dozen TKO $1 bearings instead of the $avids. so we'll see if there's a noticeable difference.

but regarding the HD bell, i was just curious if it was worth the extra $3-4. i wonder if my camera phone has a good macro, or else i'll have to wait till i get home. im just curious about my mesh wear. there's some serious grooves in my teeth. if the standard bell is going to wear the same, or others arent noticing a difference, might as well get the cheaper bell.

are the metals harder? or is the HD bell just heat treated?

2 gallons max. maybe thats how long they last.. i wish i could get more out of it. its noisy as hell with the engine off. i can't hear it on the track.

now.. i must admit. once i set the mesh, with my quick change engine mounts, i NEVER move it again. would regularly re-meshing the gears make the gear wear last longer? lol

again, im the worst at maintenance, i hate it. but if its going to make a $60 clutch replacement every gallon, maybe i'll start. lol

yea the teeth look bad on it yea i whould try to remesh the gears once in a while because as you know losis flex so if you have a hard landing sometimes the mesh can move .

i do think that could make it last longer

I have had good luck with the Robinson bell and I have heard very good things about the answer-rc losi bell. I don't like any of the losi bells.

I got the aluminum rear hub as a hop up. However, I am having difficulty disassembling the stock hubs from the dog bones, pins etc. Could anyone give me some guidance on this? I would like to use the parts from the stock hubs and transfer them to the aluminum ones - I am new to the hobby and I have been following the manual but it's still not clear to me.

Thanks in advance!

there is a set screw in the center of the axel. loosen that and then u can take the pin out that holds the hex on.the u can puch the axel through the bearings.
