Default bearings

looking to change the knuckle bearings in my pede vxl 4x4 as i cracked one on a nasty landing that busted the knuckle up. im more of a basher than anything else as you can see lol. what are a list of some good bearings to go with that can handle some abuse and what ones should i just stay away from altogether because they are just junk?

Check out www.avidrc.com. Quality bearings that they stand behind and only $1 a bearing.

Ceramics will break easier if you beat them like steel bearings.

Get aluminum knuckles and throw in the regular $1 bearings if you're doing enough to munch the plastics.

The physical principles are still the same. No reason to take an attitude, man.
