could be out of level.. but its pretty damn close with my mic... and both times it was the same side/bearing

i think that now the bearing are mounted in aluminum, rather than the plastic inserts of the older cars, that there is no give anymore.. and that little collar/spacer between the hub and the bearing just drives the center race out everytime theres contact.. ive never in all my years runnin crc cars even blown a rear axle bearing, nevermind 2 exploding in the same night, back to back.

im goin to see if i can get/make a washer that is the same O.D as the bearing, maybe itll hit flat rather then punch the center out..?
