Either works, 3mm is best but difficult to find the 4mm bearing is a standard size and easier to get hold of, i use the 4mm bearing.

Where do these extra bearings go exactly? I can't see anything that is 3mm or 4mm diameter on the propshaft for them to fit over.
I am, of course an idiot, 3mm or 4mm is the width of the bearing, not the bore. Still, I don't see where they could go to be of benefit, there is nothing to support another bearing on the chassis?

So by placing it in this location, does that help the end play or rotation, or both?  Thanks! |
