Re: Ceramic bearings and balls

I have had the complete Acer ceramic bearing kit in one car and a Trinity kit in the other. Both kits cost about $100 each at the time and have been excellent for over 12 months now.
Using ceramic balls in the diff/thrust area is another high end mod to consider. My diffs go forever.
FYI...I have a "diff" car and a "one-way" car. Otherwise, their setups are pretty similar. The "one-way" car currently gets the nod for most situations.

What size balls do you need for the diff/thrust bearing deal?
Here is the scoop I had in an e-mail from Bill Riggins...Bill
* Silicon nitride grade three balls in both diff and thrust sizes (3/32 and 5/64 inch) are $1 each.
* The extreme pressure grease is $2.50 per syringe.
* Shipping for orders over $50.00 is free. If the total is less:
-----Domestic first class shipping is $2.50. We’ve shipped thousands of balls with none lost or damaged by the USPS. If you are worried insurance can be added to any package for for $2.00 or you can use Priority Mail to make the package trackable.
-----International shipping (via Global Priority Mail) is $6.00.
* Couple of things to consider when buying. With the Losi and Mugen thrust bearings you have a choice when it comes to ball size. Seven 3/32 inch balls or eight 5/64 inch balls can be used (most use seven of the larger 3/32 balls to reduce wear). The other item to consider is most racers pickup two sets of thrust balls to use with each set of diff balls (since the thrust bearing carries about twice the load the diff bearing does the thrust balls wear about twice as fast regardless what type balls are used).
* Payment via Paypal: We have a personal account with Paypal so payment with a debit or credit card is not available. Any other Paypal funding source is fine, so payment can be sent from your PayPal balance, from a Paypal eCheck, from a bank account that has been linked to your Paypal account, etc. Feel free to ask if you need help using this the first time. The Paypal address to make the transfer to is: [email protected].
* You can also pay with a USPS money order to: Bill Riggins, 1646 Fieldgreen Overlook, Stone Mountain, GA 30088. Please include the number of large balls/small balls/grease syringes with the payment.
If you have any other questions feel free to email. Thanks,
Bill <[email protected]>

You got it. I am still using the standard 5/64 size for the thrust; but, Riggins' logic works.
