Yeah I also gave in and bought the rs bearings.
So far the noticable difference is in the sound the car makes. Alot less of that grinding noise. I haven't really noticed a major difference in performance yet but judging by sound alone it seems like the wheels are spining alot smoother than they were.

i actually think it adds just a touch of speed to the car. my dad and i have the same S2 drift motor, same batteries, his is RWD, mine is AWD and mine was running faster than his.

ok, i've gotten word from tiny that the xmod bearings are in testing these are custom made for tinyrc to requested specs. not off the shelf.... judging from teh mini-zracer bearings, these should be worth the wait.

Well you guys are lucky I'm broke, because I haven't had the chance to buy bearings yet.
Not to be pushy or anything like that, but you need to get a move on with this you guys, (Tiny, BC, whoevers involved), 'cause you're missing out on sales. Better get in while the getting's hot, know what I mean?
Anyways, motivational speech aside, I'll try to hold out for you guys as long as I can, but when I got the cash and I'm ready, I'm getting them where ever available.

same here, i have installed the rs bearings, it gives a smoother ride and bit faster. i beat my friends Rsx away, he had the Stage 2 drag and i had the stage 2 drift motor on. but after hearing about those dry bearings, i wanna install them in my other xmod and compare....

Does anyone know the specs on the bearings as far as size goes? I thought I would see if my LHS could hook me up with something better than the RS bearings
