As far as replacing all bearings, if you are still running kit bearings, then I would buy a new bearing kit. If you buy from AVID you can customize what type for each size bearing needed. I believe most just buy ceramics for the gear box.

Q: I'm getting binding/grinding in my front wheel bearings, how can I fix this issue?
A: There was/is an issue with the crush washer that resides between the two front wheel bearings. AE has addressed the issue with a running change (to my knowledge). To fix the issue, simply get a new crush tube, buy better quality bearings (plenty of places sell bearings by the pack) or monitor the bearing inserts for molding issues. Also try a clamping hex with axle in the front (best solution, honestly).

This is the Factory RC AE B5m Carbon Fiber Shorty Brace with adjustable battery stop blocks. This brace replaces the stock plastic battery retainer bracket and allows you to use the adjustable battery stop instead of foam blocks. This brace allows you to run the battery shifted forward or rearward. Simply install the battery stop on either side, and adjust to your packs length to remove any slack. Remove a battery stop to allow full rearward or full forward positioning in the car. Fitment is snug and prevents the battery from shifting. This brace is designed to be narrow allowing for additional chassis flex in the car. Battery brace is made from 3mm Carbon Fiber and your choice of Heavy Duty Carbon Steel screws or Titanium Screws. Upgrade to Factory RC!

Sure, I saw the question and answer, which you modified in your "quote".
I should have asked my real question more clearly though and shouldn't have replied back while my wife was standing in front of me waiting to leave for dinner.
But mschumi101 answered it pretty well.

I broke my stock battery strap tonight at track...looking to upgrade and was considering the Schelle one...anyone running that one? Is that the best one?
This ought to be entertaining..

My son ran an entire race with the strap in place but the hold down nuts not there. I'm more surprised that he DIDN'T break the brace.

the schelle does NOT have a back stop. if you move the pack forward, you will need foams. Poorly thought out. If you want an adjustable strap, I would get the Plan B Racing strap. Otherwise, get the exotek.
