They are 3 bucks a piece, just make sure you face the blue seals towards each other(so towards the inside of the bell). i have not had one fail one me and ive been using them for about a year maybe a little less. they increased my clutch life, and they last for ever, i change them out when i change a clutch and thats about 2-2.5 gallons per clutch aprox. You wont be disappointed, i run them on both of my cars so does my dad, a couple guys who i got to try them local love them




well ive proven that wrong many many many many times. out of all the sets of tko bearings ive used i have not had one fail.ive gotten at least 2 gallons on all of them before changing them, and they still feel brand new when i change them.i was like you too before i tried them all i used were 1$ bearings, not anymore, they have cost me to many races even when changing them out after a day of racing like many people do, they are too inconsistent imo

+1 I ran the same set of tko bearings all summer and that is racing just about every weekend. I did the cheaper bearings from other manufactures last season and just had too many dnf's when they seized up or just plain detonated. I think the biggest part of clutch bearing failure is proper alignment of the engine mounts. Keeping the mounts parallel to lines on the chassis is vital. My BCE chassis has the lines in it, I do not recall if the stock losi has lines for reference.
