Re: Bushing v. Bearing
Hi all

I would strongly suggest using ball rearings.

The way I look at this subject is this;
We all have to start with the same batteries and motors, so we start with the same power into the system. Assuming that we can choose the optimum gear ratio, the difference in output comes down to how much frictional loss you have. I will give myself every advantage I can get.
