Another drive-related question: Is it worth the expense of installing
bearings in the roadwheels? I've thought about it, but how much
difference in driveline friction does it make over, say, a plastic or
oilite bushing? (price difference between a needle roller bearing and
an oilite bushing is a factor of 10 (~$5 vs. ~$0.50 each) The M60's
roadwheels will be cast plastic (smoothcast) with rubber "tires", and
I don't want to finish the plug before I make a decision on this.
