Bearings

I just installed the bearings kit from RS, and my car ran 3 km/h slower than without the kit.

Has anyone experienced this, or should I rip it apart and do it again?

That happened to me too. I just ordered some of the TinyRC bearings, which are supposed to be infintely better than the RS ones.

My bearings arrived yesterday, and I must say they are VERY nice. I get lots of coasting off throttle now, it just seems to want to keep going. it also accelerates a lot faster too. I almost launched the car off the table I was working on. The new acceleration is very surprising.
