Stock bearings usually suck though. I replaced the bearings in my nitro, it helped some. But I didnt buy the best in the world....kinda shot myself in the foot.
From what I hear boca bearings are pretty nice. I came across a vehicle with them and compared to mine. It was pretty sick. The cars wheels would spin forever.
Thats gotta equate to more speed and acceleration. Its like I have the brakes on just so slightly compared to him...and thats basically how it works. Friction = Braking.
Basically I would wait till the stock ones are shot. Which can be a long long while depending on where you run it. Then you get the double positive effect of new and better bearings....

Also just a note, this is a shot in the dark. But I have the DIY channel and they just came out with a few more on demand stations and the DIY is included with that.
I have bright house / time warner cable. But anyways right now there is diy radio control hobbies show. Right now the feature car thats on the entire show is a RC10GT.
They installed a new cooling head on the motor. They install a new manifold and pipe. Show you a bunch of tires for it. They also show you how to make some really bad ass paint schemes. Normally their shows are broken up into a few cars. But this was just the RC10GT and Nitro Stadium Trucks. Which is what your truck is classified as. A Nitro Stadium Truck.
Im going to try and record it or something...somehow. But yeah I noticed the RC10GT is like 100 dollars cheaper than the losi. Thats always a positive.

Also what fuel did you get, was there much of a selection? Did they suggest it? Sucks with all the suggestions people can get on fuel. Your kinda stuck with whats available locally.
