- Where can i find traxxas rc cars for a good price?
website or store, i don't care. i'm just tying to find traxxas rc's (nitro) for less money but still be new and come with the things i need like a transmitter and recever. (dont need glow plug starter) also, do you need to use traxxas top fuel or can you use any 20% nitro fuel? please help...

A well you can go to google shopping and this magical thing happens where tons of websites are listed with prices! stormerhobbies.com is cheap, so is towerhobbies.com and horizonhobby.com. it sounds like you are new to the hobby. unless you at least have magazines or have done your research, don't get a nitro version! any 20% nitro will work, but some brands are better like odonnol and traxxas. 20% or 30% either way. if you want it to be "less money" and it's your first rc, check out ebay, or craigslist to learn on a less expensive model. i got a t-maxx first (nitro) blew up the engine. if you don't know what you are doing go electric, then it can be upgraded to brushless which is faster than nitro. nitro is cool if you are the kind of person who likes to get attention from a toy but it's messy, more to maintain, and you will always be tuning it if you have no experience and then it will sit on your shelf

- What do ball bearings do in a traxxas rc car?
Im just wondering what the ball bearings do in a traxxas, and how much do they increase the performance.

A Bearings over bushings are a must. They are located on all four corners of the car in the front and rear carriers. Bearings have small ball inside of a case that make things roll smoother, while bushings are just pretty much smooth hunks of metal that hold the axles.
