yes that's true, I should've thought about that.

hmmmm... Us French guys must be doing things differently then. I have had the opposite experience with Traxxas carriers versus RPM ones. I did use RPM carriers for a while because of what you said about bigger bearings. But the bearings that were included by RPM failed on the first outing. I changed the bearings to new Avid ones and after a short while, a pivot ball popped out. So I did the modification you mentioned before by taking the metal rings from the Traxxas carriers and put them on the RPM ones. It held for a while longer until a pivot ball popped out again. It wasn't even the carrier from the first time but the other one, the pivot opening was deformed and the ring was stretched from the pop out. That's when I decided to go back to the stock ones. Which never gave me any problems with the pivot balls, I just wanted to use the RPM for the bigger bearings. But it really doesn't matter anymore because I came across a great deal on NIP RD Racing carriers so that's what I have on the E-Revo now.


No brain, no headaches.
