no they will not work.... the 25,4's are for rb ws7 motors... the 25.8 are for the rb c-6 motors... only use a 14mm x 25mm x 6mm bearing will work... use this link http://www.avidrc.com/product/8/metr...-bearings.html

thanks for all the help guys
avid has ceramic front bearings that ill most likely try
however they do not have a ceramic version of the 14 x 25 x 6 yet.
Jeremy i appreciate the help and the link but after reading the description it is a steel bearing plus the pic gives it away as their ceramic balls are a darker color.
thanks again guys
lmk if u happen to find a ceramic rear bearing

Dont use the TKO rear ceramic bearing....they run a tad under size....The Boca ceramic is the same size as the OEM bearing. On my calipers they measure (OEM and the Boca) 24.98mm the TKO is 24.81 which almost slides in with your thumb. TKO ceramic front is good to go tho

I'm so psyched i gotta get these on order! but i still got to go buy the engine lol
should i install the ceramics b4 i break it in as there would be extra lube for the new bearings b/c it would be so rich?

I love this motor... I thought they were great beforehand, but my youngest is at about 1.5 gallons, and my oldest is at about 2 and holy crap... powerrrrrrrrrrrr

Just thought I'd share my joy at finally finding a motor i liked
