I just bought some flange bearings
from the RC Tank Combat Superstore (aka www.surpluscenter.com ). I tried to
save some money and got cheap ones. They came today. When I turn them by hand,
the bearings are very stiff. They’re certainly turnable, but they don’t really
rotate easily. I’m wondering if using them would result in a significant waste
of power or if I’m just being too picky. These bearings are going on my
driveshaft. I know it’s hard to say without actually handling the bearings,
but what do you think ? I can replace them with good quality bearings for $40
or so. Worth it ?
