Ball bearings

Exactly where does the rear BB's supposed to be placed?B-cause I can think of two more places but the sets only provide three for the rear!

I think the sets should provide BB's for the motor mount spacers too or has someone already thought of this before this post and recieved a logical explination why they're not provided.

I bet the one you have left goes on the wheel on the spur gear end.

Exactly where did you put the 3 rear bearings?
There are 2 plastic bushings that you are supposed to leave there as the axle does not rotate in those.

Oh I see.

So where have you put yours, and are there more places to put them? I thought motor mount only held two.

one goes to the outside of the spur-gear side wheel (no room on the inside with the stock diff, ball diff comes with a bearing in there.)
The remaining 2 replace the plastic bushings in the motor mount.
Notice how the axle turns WITH the left rear wheel, no need for bearings there.

The Squat Dry Racing bearings are without doubt the best by far. Nothing else comes even remotely close, especially considering what a deal they are. I'm sure that several hundred of you out there will agree with this.

Hello everyone,

I've tried my best to take a photo of the ball bearings installation instructions (I don't have a scanner), hope this will be helpful.

I agree mini-z I have two sets Duratrax and Squat dry bearings and so far by my tests the Squat bearings are ahead of the game
