i have always had good luck with the boca bearings.... the losi bearings are not to bad either.

I use amainhobbies's brand protek for all my bearing needs.:lol: They are $1 a piece and last just as well as any other bearings.

Yep you can't go wrong with PROTEK, I have used them for at least two years in both my 8 B and T. Most are $1 but some of the bigger bearings and flanged ones are a little more, but still good value.

Advantage racing 10 bearings for $9.99. Is all you need as long as your servicing your losi on regular basis. $1 bearings will be sufficient don't get caught up in ceramic this or $3 bearing that. Just a side note alot of those bearings come from the same manufacture and are rebadge under different distributors. Don't believe the hype.:nod:

dirt, water and who knows what else in offroad racing will get any bearing eventually. abec35.com - cheap bearings. metal, rubber shielded, some sizes in stainless so you dont have to worry when washing your car with water, ABEC 3 and 5 (for offroad ABEC 3 is better). been using them for couple years and they work great and yu cant beat the price.

i did have ACER set on my truggy, but most off them died after 4-5 races. They were replaced by the cheap bearings and since then i actually did not have to replace a single bearing. the got over 6 races on them.

Try the ceramic type which will give you a diff experience.

I have always stuck with Losi bearings. Still have all of the original ones in my car that I got before the worlds so around July I think.

I think you have a lot of decent bearings that will do the job. I have used advantage or Losi..

Advantage have always been about $1 per bearing and High quality..
