|  Double Rear Axle Bearings
So I discovered this while building my SCX10 II kit that without a second bearing in the axle and only a bearing in the lockout, the rear axle has a lot of play in and out and could cause the hex to grind on the face of the lockout. Being that I always get extra bearings for vehicles, I went ahead and put a bearing at the end of the axle and also in the lockout. Now there is no play and I figure the extra bearing can't hurt anything. Has anyone else done this? I think this was also something you could do with the AX10 axles.  |

One of the first things I did when I built mine. More bearings = more better!  |

The more load bearing points you have along a shaft will help support the total load applied to the shaft. This allows the shaft to run truer when shock loaded and return to its rotational centerline.  |

Depending on your lockouts and axle shafts you could do this with the original scx10 axles. I had extra bearings in mine with RCP lockouts and ss shafts.
