Chris, you didn't indicate what bearing glue you used, but you could apply a little heat from a hot soldering iron to speed up its air drying.
I intend to live forever! So far, so good.

I just heat mine with a torch for a few seconds, it helps set the Loctite.

I put the bearings in with blue loctite and put it on the oil burner for 24 hours. Works every time. One note on the chassis I suggest using .063 uprights for the front axle mounts for more strength.

I tested it last night, ran way better than I thought it would. Car is also heavy at 103.
