I used the same new metal shielded Yeah Racing bearings in both cars to put them on an even playing field. Not ideal I know, but I was more interested in testing the design differences, so I tried to eliminate as many other factors as reasonably possible. I would agree and say the 700 would receive an even greater advantage with better bearings since it uses more of them and that's probably the main source of drag. I use dry Teflon lubricant on the metal gears.
