but im really excited about the 3pt R cant wait to break her in
grizz-in your opinion should i do the TKO ceramic bearing swap?in the stock 3pt R there just sittn in my hobby garage wondering about durrabilty issue's
I haven't run ceramics in my motors yet, but I am thinking about it. A lot of guys do and find them very good. I do have a ceramic main bearing in a .12 on-road motor and it performs very well - smoother and very free running.
If you have them there you may as well use them. TKO is a good brand from all accounts. I change the bearings in my off road motors at around 2.5 to 3 gallons of racing (which is quite a bit of track time) so durability is not really a problem. Change them before anything can go wrong I guess is my mentality. It's worked so far
