Why Bearings Are the Best First Mini-Z Upgrade

If you just got a Mini-Z and you’re wondering what to upgrade first, the answer is almost always bearings. Stock bushings create friction and slow you down. A full set of ceramic bearings runs about $12 and takes ten minutes to install.

The difference is immediately noticeable. Smoother rolling, less drag, and your motor runs cooler because it’s not fighting friction. It’s the best bang-for-buck upgrade in the Mini-Z world.
