The new lighter high-speed ballbearings offer great car performance, acceleration and top speed. Because of their size, the bearings have to be cleaned and serviced more often. To do this, remove all bearing from the car, clean them with cleaner and rag, and regrease them again.

This is especially important with the bearings in the pinion gear assembly as they can carry extreme loads. We recommend using HUDY Bearing Grease after each hour of racing; this will help to significantly extend bearing life.

1) Bearing grease will disappear after some racing time. You must open the diff housing to access the bearing. Remove the bearing.
