everyone has told me that hardware stores don't carry bearings small enough for RCs, and online searches of hardware stores havn't turned up anything either.

that blows! the fate of the sm is hanging in the balance of one bearing!!!! i've run out of suggestions! good luck!

Maybe someone will bring one to Berwyn and you can fix it there.

Supermaxxs are awsome IMO, its just stuff like... shims.. and screws... and bearings that never go right for me. The cheap stuff that is really important.

I'm pretty sure im going to send the racer X, limiters & 8mm cvds back to drdex, and sell the rest.

I'll either get an LST or a Revo. Its a tough choice.

I'm thinkin revo due to the options for it.

if you like the truck then keep it. Every truck is gonna have shims, and bearings in it so your not doing anything but just transfering that stuff over to another truck you dont like as much. I would keep the supermaxx if you really like it and just keep working out the bugs. Eventually your gonna hit a sweet spot were you just keep going and it makes everything worth it.
