Man, I'm seriously HOOKED on moddin my MTs now!
I'm currently gathering the necessary info, then I'm going to order some iWaver PCB boards and swap em into my MT Crawlers for lovely propo-ness!
Az, did you know there's TWO Xmods ball bearing sets? The ones you were looking at are probably the 2 size sets for the $20...But there's another set (part #6008512) that's on clearance for $9.97 and it's only got the small bearings in it (14 total in set). I was lucky and bought a set during the extra 25% off on top of clearance pricing.
Hard to find though, it's not even listed on Radioshack's site anymore.
Good luck and keep your eyes peeled for my "MT Propo upgrade via iWaver PCB".
