I took the rear drive train apart and the rear flange bearings are starting to feel gritty after cleaning them. How long are these bearing suppose to last? They've only been used for 2 races. Is it better to buy ceramic bearings or just keep buying regular bearings and replace them from time to time?
Not sure what rear axle you are running; but, the flanged bearing on the outside of the right hub is the one under a side load. It's not designed for that; so, you need to replace that one bearing regularly...Especially after a few hits to the boards or other cars.
