Engine Bearings...... Which company??
 
It is time for me to replace my engine bearings and was wondering which company to go with?

TKO or Boca? This will be my first time replacing engine bearings so I just wanted some insight from you experienced guys. Thanks

My recommendations would be TKO.

I've used TKO on 2 of my engines (only due to amain having only those in stock when I ordered) and they performed great. I put around 3 gallons through each motor after the change, and they're still going strong.

TKO bearings all around are awesome.

Although I have never had to replace an engine bearing I do use the TKO bearings for wheels, diffs, and clutch.

There special clutch bearings are the bomb. I have never had one fail not once. In fact I have never had one even get gritty or close to failing.

After about 3 gallons on the clutch I change the bearings out just to be safe but dang even at 3 gallons I can spin the bell by hand and it keeps going and going.

I have 2 engines with Avid Ceramic's in them. They work flawless, Zero leaks from the front bearing. Super Smooth. www.avidrc.com

TKO

I cant say enough good thing's about TKO and Peter Martin. Peter is a stand-up guy who has outstanding customer service....he is a VERY knowledgable man that is very polite and helpful as well.......A+ guy and company IMO.

Thanks everyone! Looks like TKO is the winner.

For engine bearings I like boca, just feel better paying alittle extra for bearings I THINK are of a higher quality. Avids for all other.

Yes! Nothing bad to say. Their special Losi Clutch bearings are not bad at all.
