Just installed 6 bearings purchased from eBay. The car runs quieter. Installing was quite challenging and fun. I dropped one of the springs on the carpet floor and I had to spend about 5 min to look for it.

OK, I don't notice the difference any more... Maybe the runtime will increase..
Either way, this is an awesome car out of the box.

After comparing with the other dNano car without BB's I could not believe how badly the metal BB's performed. I took them all out and put the plastic bushings back in and the wheels spin more freely. Don't waste your money on ebay ball bearings.

So they weren't Kyosho brand bearings? My bearings were a huge improvement? Did you try cleaning your bearings in a little denatured alcohol and water, then relubing them? Did you lube them to begin with.
