hay. my supra also has a red stage 2 motor and metal ball bearings, but no suspension. yes, when i installed the bearings, it wasnt what i though it would be. everyone says that it suppose to be a dramatic increase in speed, but for some reason, im not getting it. i dont know whats wrong. maybe we need to re-grease it up? hope we find a solution

The first thing to check is whether you may have inproperly installed a bearing. It might be binding somewhere. You may also misaligned another component in the process of reassembling the other parts.

I think the bearings take a little time to brake in.

i also have the stage 2 red motor and installed the bearings, i was disappointed with the results though, didnt really notice a difference at all, then i did the 5th cell conversion and its running pretty sweet. there is a possibility i could have not installed them properly i dunno i was pretty tired when i did it, i started the job at 3am and didnt think it would take that long but it was a bit of a pain. Anyway, like i said i got a 5th cell in there now and its running sweet, i think ill try 6 batteries soon and maybe get a nml motor

i think cisco was right, they were slowing me down at first but now they seem to be working great
