i might as well replace all the bearings in my truck (ill buy two kits to keep some spares and re bearing the whole truck)

i would really like some feedback on those bearings.

Marcus, that was some hit! Why not use Answer-RC bearings and use your Team Terribles discount? Just a thought for you. See you on the 9th.

did the bulkhead melt or is that the grease? i have used the panther orange sealed bearings and they are great.

yup there is a huge air triple right before the front straight he missed the triple ended up on the front straight landing right in front of me
both of us were at WFO

it was a nasty hit

he losi a throttle/break servo due to the hit

tc5 man

dam my guess is the guy that hit you was, a little bit to hard on the throttle hehe.
i learn that if you arent line up right at, a jump just roll it man or brakeage will happen or worse.

Your name is Marcus?? My name is Marcus. Hope that does not disturb you.

I have been using avid bearings, I must say i am not impressed. I have had 2 wheel bearings seize up a day after putting them in. Gonna try answer rc.

My smaller wheel bearings and pinion bearings are mugen and they have lasted like four gallons

HAHA yup my name is Marcus. Its always weird to say your name for someone else lol!

Avid bearings i will always stay far away from
they are the ones that ruined a couple of my engines because 4 of them seized in a diff case.

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the most part avid has had great reviews. I have been running them all around except for engine. I have not had any problems. TKO looks pretty good.

I've not had a problem with them on my 808. I didn't know the tko bearings were cheaper though. HMMMMM.....Anyone else have bearing recomendations? Brand, type? Who makes a trully sealed rubber bearing like the mugen wheel bearings that seem to last forever, a little drag isn't an issue if you can leave them alone for longer....they free up after the qualifiers anyhow....

tc5 man

the best bearing i used in by front and, rear hubs are the advange bearings
not the cermianic ones the regular rubber.seal bearing, as for clutch bearings the tko high rpm ones rock.

marcus, i really like avids, you dont like those tho. if i had the money i would put tko all around but thats not needed.

I should do this more but i dont replace my bearings much. if i feel it getting sloppy then yes ill do a complete bearing replacement but avids last a while
