If I replace bearing will affect scratched rotor performance on mine motor? Is there any chance to get replacement of a bearing from Novak?

Thanks hope to hear from u soon.
You can get a set of bearings for 10-20 bucks. A guy i race with had the same exact thing happen to his ballistic 8.5, may have been a bad batch of bearings....u should be ok on the rotor as long as it isnt gouged too bad, maybe post a pic would be easier to judge by seeing....email or call novak, they are pretty good with service.
