Those ceramic bearings were impressive on the spin test. You can almost use them to balance those rims/tires as you can see the heavy part hit the bottom when the tire slowed to a stop.

Yeah they are really good. I haven't bothered to balance tires so far. i wonder if that's needed if i true tires.

Thanks! It was fun to test out those super smooth bearings.

How does the car perform though? Is there any difference when under load from the motor? Is the car easier to control? Does the car go faster?

For me, no. For better drivers racing in power-limited classes (e.g: super stock), I've heard more efficient bearings make a difference.

I'd imagine it's pretty miniscule with a chassis this light but the lower rolling resistance probably helps with battery life a bit & control.

It's definitely not going to make much of a difference to me at my skill level. I think your example of battery life is a good one; there are also race classes with limits on motor and gearing that can make little efficiency gains here and there useful.

I’m getting the ceramics bearings aliexpress. What size and how many do i need for Reflex racing RX28 car?
@sammybaka5 ай бұрын
RX28 uses 3x6x2.5 bearings throughout. Depending on the version of the ball diff you have (i.e: v2 uses a thrust bearing), you need either 7 to 8 bearings. 2 at each of the 2 front rims. 2 on the motor mount. 1 on the outside of the right rear rim. If you have the v1 ball diff, you can consider replacing that bearing on the diff. You don't have to use a good bearing on the outside of the left rear rim because it doesn't rotate relative to the axle.
