yes alot of offroad racers like TKO,and TKO do make a good quality bearing, but keep in mind the diffrent tollerences that the on road motors bearings take compared to offroad motors.On Road motors are sitting on higher RPM's consistantly compared to the offroad motors. so there is much more wear on the on road motors. but it also comes down to the quality of fuel. I have just pumped approxamtly 8-10 LTRS of fuel through my VZR with The OS Speed rear Ceramic bearing, and it is still going smooth.a friend of mine has a saying,and i stick by this saying "MONEY NEVER LIES" so pay that little extra on your RC gear and you will go a long way in racing with a smile on your face.

Cheers
