also this is while the car is extended off the ground, has a whole lot of play in the wheels

It sounds like the bearings. try wobbling just the stub axle without the wheel on it. It's possible the hex could be striped too and it's giving the wheel more space to move.

More wobble than it previously had or your just noticing it now? because those models tend to have a fair amount of woble in them.

i had the car here, i think its the bearings, there is wobble all over the place.

AllAboutFunHobbies

LOL, all over the place huh, that's pretty specific, LOL.

ehroof

lol, there is alot of play with the drive cups [:'(]

AllAboutFunHobbies

[:'(] back at ya, lol. well I guess that means you either need new bearings or axle hubs or maybe the axle shaft is worn out. Hmmmm. OOORRRR you could toss it and get a Megap, lol.

ehroof

yeah, lol...... actually i would suggest taking the drive cup out and checking the fit in the bearings and see what the deal is from there. most likely its bearings though.

My Feedback: (1)

Redharris, which bearings did you see at 99 cents? I do not know what size he needs, but the cheapest 5x10x4 I saw were $2 each, and they were only shielded. For 5x11x4 and 10x15x4, the cheapest were $1.75, again shielded. The cheapest rubber sealed were $2.75 in all three sizes. Maybe there are sizes I do not use that are less. Those are decent prices, but I have also found rubber sealed bearings for less than $1 each at [link=http://teamfasteddy.com/]http://teamfasteddy.com/[/link] which is the best I have found. And I have had great luck with fast shipping and good reliability so far, although I only have maybe 50 tanks on them so far.

You're Right ....
Not 99 cents any more, (They had a DEAL going on for the RCX convention, but it has since Expired).

Nice find at http://teamfasteddy.com/ . I am going to give them a Try!
