I sourced my own ceramic stuff... unfortunately not much cheaper. But they are incredible, i had to turn up my drag brake because my car was so free.

hahaha, priceless. Buy expensive bearing, and the car is too free, so add drag. Nice. But yeah, I have been running ceramics in my hubs for about 6-8 months and they are still as smooth as new.

So you free'd up the drive train with ceramic bearings, to max your car's speed... then added heat to the motor with more drag brake which will net you less voltage across your run, and more heat in the motor.

(just playin with ya... wont do much)

There you go, you stock guys love blowing tons of money on stuff. At least your bank account will be lighter.
