QUOTE(junichi_nonis @ Oct 29 2010, 10:36 AM) juz soak for 1/2 day in lighther fluid.. hahah... Pro tip from pro racer! Szng: Surgery needs good organs/spare parts if not only making things worse  However, there are a few cases for comparison here. Super speed cars use large dia. rollers, but FRP cars use bearings... both are fast. Maybe there is some other reason why large dia. rollers are used?

Do take into consideration if the comparison between 2 types of car
Weight Transmission Battery Track layout Motor
Unless you run both cars under the absolute same condition if not you will never get answers
P.s. Soaking of bearing is only effective when the bearings are new and unused.If it is old bearings and can't even spin properly just let it retire to the dump. It might be costly but frequent bearing change is a must in mini4wd racing.

Even without full mod and chassis cutting there seems to be a bias towards bearings as rollers? This post has been edited by iDIOT: Oct 29 2010, 10:51 AM

I have to agree on the factor tat david mentioned.
as for bearing, of coz it has to be new and unused.. in speed races, to obtain optimum performance, it is best if everything is new from pack.. all modification has to be precise if nt in good shape..
tat's y, everyone said "SPEED = AGUNG".. however, sumtimes ther are exceptional case, but rather rare..
cheers mate..

I can also say that bearing rollers are maintenance free compare to the 19mm rollers As for 4 rollers some can't even pass the lc at slow speed so hard to compare
Do note the pics of the 4 rollers frp cars do race in the track where oval lc is being used rather then the conventional lc so they can really push it without the fear of flying out lol

IMO 4 roller with bearing much easier than with 19mm...
David, by slow speed you mean "slow" speed? ^^
