Metal Bearing Upgrade
Upgrade from standard plastic bushings to metal ball bearings for reduced friction,
greater precision, and better handling. Before installing, turn off your vehicle and
controller and then detach the car body.
Preparing for Your Metal Bearing Upgrade
1
Use the lug wrench supplied in your XMODS
to detach the front lug nuts and wheels.
Tips
• Carefully count and set aside screws while disassembling so you can properly reassemble your car later.
• Bearings can be fitted in place in either direction.
• Be careful that the lead solder joints inside the car do not become detached.
• You may find it useful to remove the antenna from the chassis.
