I just use Tamiya fluoropolymer compound. As long as the bearings are smooth and doesn't make sound when rotating, then it's good for me.
I know people likes to free-spin rollers and see how long the spin could last, but on track it doesn't really make any difference because the weight of the car and drag from the motor, and the overall setup like roller size/positioning has more effect.

it depend on your setting, S2's softness and elasticity let it become the best jump car chassis in town.

yes it's more easy to break...

Chienoz, how do you tune Torque Tuned Pro? I tried. but I cannot get that high-pitched bingit sound la 

Smooth bearing is important. But how much more smoother can be that much significant when everything is well tuned altogether.
There are many people who think that free spinning using fingers is enough to measure the car real performance on track when it's not.
I was particularly referring to those who thinks that their bearing is very smooth after dipping in zippo oil and doesn't want to relube them anymore because "see how long this bearing can spin wow!". But then there's the sound of grinding ball bearings inside lol.

For example, when you have wheel bearings, when on the track, the smoothness the wheel can spin is only up to how much the motor drag with all the gears attached together.

It's the same with cars. You can dyno on flywheel and get 200hp. But when you put it on an on-wheel dyno with all the wheels attached and car load, there is probably only like 160hp or so.

Get my point?

hello abang Chienoz! met your borther at Grand Final the other day. nice lad, he is. taknak racun dia to play Mini 4WD ah?

nmpk this 1 dude jual Panasonic Eneloop Pro....cam nk beli/try/test jer..buat research jap dulu

kasi turun ilmu skit bro  

Agreed with chienoz!
Floating gear's impact on the car's performance is not that great.
Help to smoothen the car just a bit je. I made 'em just for study. (tengok ramai yg buat, cuba la jgk.. )

On my MS, I don't use that green floating one. Performance sama je.
Even the floating one is heavier due to the mass of the ball bearings in 'em.

Stock gear, asah lubang cket + proper ball bearings (520/620/round hole) + lube = 

use sfm also can get TQ.. remember gabz car ?
