Steering knuckles are crap!
Last night I got my delivery of TinyRC Sealed Bearings and went to work on my cars. The inside bearing on the front knuckle was very hard to get in, a tight press fit. Ended up putting 3 bushings on an Xmod screwdriver then the bearing and pressing it in. Put the car together and took it out for a spin. I have to say the bearing TinyRC sells are very sweet. The bearing car made the bushing car look slow and heavy. I drove it for five minutes then put it away. This moring while testing something on the car I noticed the left knuckled had basically exploded into 3 peices apparently due to the tight fit of the bearings. The plastic is in one word cheap! Luckily I had a spare.
Did I mention the TinyRC bearings are sweet!

Ended up going to RCMart. Order a few GPM parts to try out. If they work well I will order more. Steering knuckles look very nice and hopefully work better than the originals.
