Man, at our track there's a hodge podge of fast folks and grenades. Sometimes you hit a grenade and all sorts of stuff that normally wouldn't just comes clean off your car

so ? im still running the kit bearings (if you would even call them bearings) and the fronts are already really notchy. whats the best bearing kit out there in your opinion? i bought all the aluminum and titanium baddazled parts when i built my car and didnt know how bad the kit bearings where. if i would have known i would have bought them right away.

Schelle IMO has the best bearings for the money and it looks like you're running stock so I would get the Ceramic gearbox bearings and then they're hub replacement bearing set which will cost $54 but it is deff worth it or you could just get the regular bearing set which I believe is $28.

You can click HERE to see the bearings they have and then HERE is the hub replacement bearing set so if you get the ceramic gearbox bearings you dont have to buy two full sets.

yea i was leaning towards schelle, my buddy just got sponsored from them and i was checking out his thrust bearing kit from them. def like whats coming out from schelle, i have the battery strap from them

Would be nice if AE would offer the C and D aluminum arm mounts in black to complete the blacked out look for the car...

Yes, but if you go with the ceramic gearbox set, you won't need the full kit.

Yeah, they have black motor plates and black hubs. I would like black shock parts and suspension holders for sure

You might want to also check out Avid bearings. I run them in all my cars ..I like how they are metal shielded on one side and this lets them spin more free than most bearings. Another Neat thing is you just select you car and they build the kit for you and you can select any bearing style you want like if you want to upgrade the gearbox bearings to ceramic you can.

Yes you can get that but I was saying since you run stock to get the ceramic gearbox bearings which are less drag and lower motor temps and then get the hub replacement bearings for $14 which replace the rest of the bearings so you dont have to spend $28 on the whole kit which you're not going to use the gearbox bearings from.

Has anyone used the Sweep Muzzle body for the B5M? I like the looks just wondering about the quality

Yep, Avids are great

For the fronts, i dont think bearing quality is the issue. My kit and avid bearings are equally doomed in the front.

Really!? its not the axle setup either because im running spindles with clamping hex like the old b4.2 style. maybe its the inserts slightly moving in the caster block and tweaking the bearings

I have had zero luck with the kit axles. I am not sure what the issue is, but I always get less grit with the FT axles. That being said, I think the true culprit are the inserts. I really wish AE would just come out with 1 piece spindles. If they made 1 piece spindles that were properly aligned, the issue would be greatly minimized. That being said, the kit bears are still junk.


I am NOT a fan of too much aluminum on the cars, but I wonder if these would help the inserts align better.
