Default Re: Bearings

If your going to use your truck like a truck,leave the bearings at the hobby shop. I plow a lot of snow w/my trucks,& learned early the bearings are a waist of money.Unless you plan on oiling the bearings every time the truck gets used for real. Have one truck that I use to keep my sidewalks clear with.At the end of last season,the truck sat for two weeks.Went to use it & it would hardly move because the bearings in axles rusted up.
I'm now a bushing guy!
Also be careful useing bearings under shift hubs in trany. They can wreck main shaft,from sliding on shaft. There made to spin,not slide on shaft.
