I have a 2004 Blade 150 single seat buggy and except for the engine being built to the hilt and shocks, all bearings, struts and bushings are still A-OK. The strut , that which the ball joints are welded to only lasted this long because of the works shocks I have on the buggy. I do have grease fittings on my control arms but only cause they used metal bushings. All the new buggies use the nylon bushing impregnated with lube so there is no need to grease. My bearings are all sealed and have yet to have any problems. In fact today many of the cars have sealed bearings and have no issues until around 100,000 miles. Never have I dealt with the TaoTao so I can't rate its quality but the better buggies like Blade Hammerhead, Joyner and ASW have no issues at all.
