No telling if it was you or not regarding the Acer bearings. I would not use the kit again on a ground up build like this since I had too many extra bearings left over since the Pro-line steering kit and RPM axle carriers came with bearings. Just one of those rookie mistakes. But I will be able to use most of the extra bearings in my stock EMaxx when needed.
Yea going to replace with some Powerpoles I have, but just did not get it done before taking pictures. Already had problems on my other cars with Tamiya so want to replace all at once and that is a small project by itself.
