I made my own out of a black plastic Mobile 1 engine oil jug (one gallon/4 litre size)I have used the same set all summer and other than some scratches held up really well.You can make two sets out of one jug.

Default Bearings

How often does everyone change out your bearings and do you go back with stock bearings or run something different? What would be a good bearing with out breaking the bank?
I've only ran my truck one race but a guy at the track I race at that has one also said he has to change his out every 3 to 4 races. Does this sound about right ? I'm new to racing and want to make sure I maintain my truck so I don't have breakage at the track due to poor maintanence.

It depends on the track conditions. I myself replace my bearings once for the whole winter indoor season low dust clay bluegroove track. Outdoors on a loomy loose track every three races. I have had real good luck with the avid revolution at 1$ a piece. Clutch and motor bearings are a different story

+1 on Avid revolutions they are great bearings. I replace about every gallon or so unless they start making noise or are gritty, but about a gallon is right.

Hey guys, looking for some advice. I put the Losi adjustable hinge braces on front and rear.

I set the rear up as per the sheet, with 0's in the front for the standard anti squat and then 0.5's outer in the rear. This should, according to the sheet give me 3.5 degs of toe. When I measured it on my setup table, it came out at 4 degs????

Does this sound right??? Are the sheets not correct. What should I be putting in there to get 3.5 toe???
