T-Works MP9E lightweight bearing kit

T-Works have introduced their new lightweight bearing kit for the Kyosho MP9E 1/8th electric buggy. The set includes 14 8x14mm bearings and 14 bearings inserts that, in combination, replace the original – larger – drivetrain bearings for smaller and thus lighter ones, scrubbing both overall weight and unsprung masses. The precision bearing inserts make for a reliable bearing seat and the included ball races are rubber-sealed for durability.
