New Schumacher Mi6 1/10 Competition Touring Car kit

Being such small bearings, could those ball-raced wishbones be considered a potential weak-spot, particularly with the impacts most of these have during hard-fought races?

 

Al.

Maybe, but bearings are hardier than people think. As long as there is a good cage inside they can take quite the impact, plus the arm is plastic and it looks like the bearing is in a little housing according to that picture. What intrigues me is how the pins are captured, the bolt in system means there is very little flex in it and it goes through to the chassis, that said there is a massive bumper and a wheel so it should be ok as they should take the impact. My concern would be grit and dirt, a bearing that small won't take much to get all glued up. 

i would guess this would make an terible car park basher, but the bearings will make for a pretty responsive and fluid suspension setup. Keep it maintained and swap the bearings often and it will be good I reckon. Neglect it and ignore it at your peril though.

 

Nice to see some new iedas on  car!
