Traxxas TRX-4M Bearing Kit

[ZaneC]

I'm about to install a bearing kit in my TRX-4M. I bought them off of Amazon for $10. I inspected them, making sure they were all there and that there was no defects, and they passed the test. I will be starting with the gearbox. Update soon.

I apologize about the blurryness. Camera has a crack in the glass.

Winter evening are great bearings
A bit cheaper than fast Eddy. Use them for my slash/rusty.

They feel like good quality.

Gearbox bearings fit perfectly. On to the axles!

A while back I installed these metal gears in the axles and now I'm wondering if I should put some grease on them. I have Traxxas lithium grease. Will that work?

 

[Weezel]

That's the first thing I like to do to my RC's, replace all the bushings to bearings.

Yes, you should put grease on your gears. I don't use lithium grease in my RC's. Mobil1 synthetic is all I use.

The Traxxas stuff is all I got. They put it in their servos, so it should work.

Yes. Or Lucas oil red and tacky.

Cool. Let you know when the axle's finished.

That good?

I have Winter Evening bearings in a few of my rigs. Zero complaints.

Fill the diff case.

Well, after around an hour of work, I can say that it's finished. Everything went together smoothly. Pun intended. The rig seems more powerful, faster, and overall just better. A couple more things I hope to do to it are metal wheel hexes and metal tranny gears.

Glad it went along with no bearing. Gonna be smooth sailing here on out.
