RE: traxxis rustler xl-5 good hop-ups
I would say wait till you break the A-Arms and then get some RPM.
The bearing change will be a noticeable difference even if you just stick with the stock carriers and don't go up to 5X11 size bearings. When you spin the tires with those bushings vs when you have bearings it is night and day. Seems miniscule to us but to your car and engine it is quite a big thing.
So upgrade to wheel bearings first and possibly carriers for the 5X11 size bearing and then start doing A-Arms. Wait till stuff breaks then upgrade those.
As always, just my two cents.
