Hi!
I was looking into Ball Bearings for my Z F1 and ran into a comment on one webpage that the F1 needs 8 bearings.

Is this correct?

Thanks!

i dont own F1 but the official website mentions that 7 bearings are required.

Ball bearing set MZW1
Driving loss has been reduced, and running performance and durability have been improved (7-pcs set)

7 is really all you need.

4 for the front
2 for the motor casing
1 for the left rear axle attachment (inside the wheel) with the ball diff.

you could have two more for the outside rear wheels just for continuity but don't need it since the rears are driven by the diff (versus free moving like the fronts).

Thanks a lot!

Even better, details to where they go. As the McLaren I got came with Japanese instructions :)
