Default XCelorin 1/8 bearings
I was told that the bearings in the 8th scale xcelorin motors do not last long and should be replacement often, anyone have a link to the replacement bearings for them or know the size it needs?

thanks

When you do find the size get some ceramic bearings and be done with it. They will out last steel. Just use someones Digital calipers if you dont have any and measure the inner and outer diameter and look and see if TKO or Acer has any availible.

Good to know, will likely need to swap out the bearing or bearings in my Losi Xcelorin Brushless 1/8th scale motor before next summer...
