Yes, ceramic bearings too expensive for me.
I'll just buy 2 or 3 sets of regular bearings and rotate them. While one set is in use, the other two are soaking.

Mobile one synthetic works for me. Lighter weights to spin free and heavier weights for less maintenance.
I always use coffee filters too. They're always lint free and chemical resistant to break cleaner.

Mobile 1 as well. As fast as the $20 / 20ml dry sliding lubricants...

Aviation grade penetrating oil and lubricant. Excellent creeping and retention properties and won't carbonize under prolonged high temps or loads. Works great on motor bearings. Also available at most aviation supply companies. I bought an 8oz bottle about two years ago, filled a few small applicator bottles, and still have over half a bottle left. 2-3 drops per bearing with regular maintenance.

Do you realy think they make the oil designed for their bearings? As with most RC manufacturers, they have tested and chosen a kind of oil from an oil company.
I do my bearings with simple WD40 and the smaller bearings with oneway lube. Both oils make the bearings go smooth.

I've been using Slip 2000, a light gun oil I had on hand, seems to work well so far. No amount of heat generated by an RC car will break it down so you should be good to go.
