How did you do?? Hope you at least had fun. We have a race in two weeks, and I am not sure which car I will run, either the Mugen or the Xb9, both at times seem to push a bit in the corners, the Xb9 is a bit more unstable but aggressive, when I push my Mugen it usually can't handle it and I wreck.
What causes a car to push in a corner? Do you ever adjust for maximum steering or do you move until the whine gets a bit louder on the servos? I have Ko Propo rsx aluminum tops on the Mugen and the new Futaba HV on my Xb9. I just had waaaaayyyyy to many servo issues on my Losi 8ight that I never even try to get maximum steering, the most I do is make sure my steering is in neutral and make sure the servo arm is in the middle, then adjust left and right based on noise. I can go up many clicks on my servos guaranteed, just hate risking a servo

There wasn't a specific thread on the NVR17011 front bearing for the Novarossi, but probably the most used bearing in this thread so thought I 'd ask the question here. I have a Werks B2 motor which has about a gallon on it and noticed the front bearing was leaking. I decided to put in a NVR17011 front bearing since I have put one in my Speed and everyone seems to swear by it.
So here's my question, after carefully installing it in the B2, it has a slight catch or notch when moving it....almost like one of the balls has a flat spot.
I have heard bearings need seating/break in before but never gave that much thought. Should I be alarmed or just run it and assume it will be ok?
The crankshaft installs without issue which means the bearing is aligned properly and wasn't installed crooked. I lubed everything with Marvel mystery oil just in case it was dry.

Yes, I heated and used an engine tool. It went in relatively easy. I used the old ofna bearing tool. It has worked in the past without issue. It uses a slide weight. You can feel and hear when the bearing is completely installed. Just curious if it damaged the bearing.

Am just gonna throw my 2 cents in, Your original bearing was probably good. That seems a little pre mature for a bearing in a werks to go bad. Not saying it isn't possible, but to say a bearing is bad cause it's leaking in the first gallon would be a wrong call to me, cause it still will be rich....
