Not too bad of wear on the buggy I suppose (it is a big stretch to say they don't wear at all) but on the SCT they wear alarmingly fast around the bearings. And this type of wear leads to inconsistent feel on the track in my experience.
Looks like this will help with a replaceable insert.

Ran the same 0s on my SC for almost a year (not nearly as much run time), but they were old used ones I got on a different car. They were old blue ones where somebody actually scraped off all the annodizing. they looked like hell from all the use, but the bearing fit/finish/feel was still 100% plush.
So yes... from my experience, they don't wear. (at least at the bearings... they might wear after a long while at the hingepin).

My blue alum hubs are beginning to develop some slop at the large bearing (rb5). The car had gone through some bashing though, instead just being pampered at a track 
IMHO if Kyosho wanted to replace the 'v1', which they are, then why bother with stamping 'v2' on them? It's like different horses for different courses? And would I still need the brass bushing between the bearings? Personally it rubs me up the wrong way with all these fidgety plastic in the hubs that I need to look after. Slap on the hubs and be done with it. Anyway my OCD is taking over me I need to lie down Cheers,

@ Cpt. America - With the 12.5mm Hi torque rotor in a Revtech 17.5 does it really bring it to life, compared to a regular Revtech 17.5 w/ a stock rotor and full timing?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have actually cut a few and sold them for $20 shipped.
I may have couple full size ones in my box.
