also, does bearings make a huge difference? i dont see a difference in rpm, but what else does it do?

I think ball bearings do make a difference, a lot less friction,thus more efficient..

k. what do u think of the ball bearing version of this motor. i think that it is a good choice because it goes up to 9.6 volt and it has a descent rpm.

Maybe I should ask you this question? Are you using it in car/truck?? what are you using it for?? Racing? Bashing? Drifting..
