Hey Pesky,
Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the S2 cars. In any event, I know that it is an issue as I have been running the car for several years and have gone through a ton of bearings. I have also broken the studs that hold the uprights. That wasn't much fun!!!! The Motorsport cars were designed to be a bit more durable because of what they were built to do. The Series I Exige was supposed to be a street car but was used over this side as a race or HPD car only. I appreciate your concern and informative intentions!!!!

Regards,

If you care to re-read my post, you will see that I specifically mention Gav's 2004 (S1) Car - not the GT3 S2 Lotus Cadena car of 2006, to which you refer.

Also, for your information, the GT3 S2 cars use wheels specifically made for the Lotus Cadena cars.

Below is a picture of Gav's 2004 car, which early on in the season used Speedlines, but changed to Rimstocks because of the wheel bearing problem, which cost them race finishes. As stated earlier, Sean & Russ have also suffered from the problem this season, & to further emphasise the point, the Plans Motorsport prepared S1 cars in the Mid Engined Series, no longer use Speedlines because they too had cooked bearings.

I am happy to concede that it is probably only in race conditions, that the problem arises, but none the less, the point is valid. I posted my original comment because you run an S1, & thought it would be useful information.
