RE: Xray T2'009 Shattered Bearing XR941015

I finally got my Xray to the track on Friday the 14th, last night and ran in 4 races.

In no race did I exceed much more than 1/2 throttle, I had a couple of small dings with other cars but no bad crashes or hard bangs, in all, a very carefull few laps.

Upon cleaning my car this morning I saw that the blue plastic cover on the bearing XR941015 had come loose on the rear left hand ball diff bearing.
I removed the ball diff and upon taking the bearing out of it's cover part XR302078 the bearing fell apart, as shown in photo.

Now I'm not sure what it's made of, but I don't think it should just shatter in normal low speed conditions without a serious crash.

The model shop says they don't often see breaings break especicially in the Xray

I've emailed the distributor
