Can anybody tell me the benefit of using ceramic bearings over the stock teflon sealed bearings?

less rotation mass and smooth !

Aggdaddy

Thanks for the quick reply.

I saw some ceramic bearings on a website for $119. Does it make that much difference to spend that much on some bearings?



I saw a video of your car, nice driving.

Manticore

i have that set of bearing on my car too ran it two weeks ago and like it very much. the video was taken one year ago when MTX3 first launched. It was with factory setting. very nice car to work with.

Holy crap Manti.. have you ever thought of entering into major races?

It's scary to think what you're capable of with a dialed setup

Manticore

i retired from race now a day. too much trouble preparing for a race day and most important is that Sunday is family day. I do enjoy the hobby and I usually run my cars almost non-stop on saturday.

Oh, so you must have kids then? Who knows, might have Little Manti's running all over the place winning Nationals

Manticore

yes 2 boys ! and that will be too tired for the old daddy if they join race as I would likely to be their pitman

LOL

i can just imagine..

"DAD you're spilling fuel all over my MTX-5!"

Manticore

damn, i want them to pit me instead for my MTX-5 !

They will be too busy refueling my Serpent 799-R

Manticore

that's about right on the number of versions gone thru !

OK, enough, enough..

But seriously, I'm going to sleep now. I hope tomorrow I will wake up to find an HPI R50 under the tree~ G'night!

Manticore

alright, G'nite and merry x'mas dude!

Oh yeah, I am luck enough to have a manti secret sauce motor with ceramic bearing in there! hehe you can tell from just hearing it revs much faster and smoother then stock engine!
