Rubber, Teflon or metal? -
01.14.2007, 08:25 PM
Looking to get a replacement set of bearings for my 18T. I rarely do any off roading with the thing so I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I read somewhere that the rubber ones can slow the car down a little? Is this true? I'm looking to free things up a little.
Thanks. |

If no dirt is involved the metal shielded one can free up some resistance
People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise |

Also, if you need extra smoothness and durability, get the ceramic bearing kit for your mini truck.
Rubber does add more resistance. Nice to meet you! |

Thanks guys.
After doing more research, I found this chart (scroll down). Looks like I'll go with the teflon to free up some resistance. Rubber was the worst. |
