Do they last longer etc?? Any info will help, thanks

I would not say it is a big advantage, but they will probably last longer. They are actually unnecessary in my opinion.

Now ceramic bearings in the motor is a different story, I highly recommend them in the motor. The motor spins a whole lot more revoluitons than the drive train. At least 14 times as many on most buggies and 16 times those on a truggy.
