Yeah 3 of mine were totally melted. Actually one popped before I even set it down on the track. I changed all of them before I ran it.

I pulled out my rear hub bearings tonight after running the first time,like 6 tanks last night and the inner and outers were both gritty, I'll give avids one try cause I already have them..I know in another week I'll be pm-ing Jdub

yeah same man, I am even going to swap the stock spindles and rear hubs for JDub's pieces.......I also wanna run truck for first time with my new +4 which wont be here until Wed/Thur. That allows me plenty of time to leisurely go through the truck, gonna tinker with drivetrain tomm. and lube up the ring and pinion gears and just check the diffs to make sure nothings leaking out of box and to make sure fluid levels are correct

Yup all of mine were melted. It's was no problem I gave horizon a call and in 2 days I had new ones in my mail box. I put them on before I even ran the truck.

also, my CB bearings are NOT a tight fit, the inner will just fall right out. The outer is a little tighter.

would you mind sharing that # for cust. service? thanks!

Mine are a good fit they are not loose. They are good and true, I must say I'm happy with the new bell.

1-800-338-4639 ask for product support. Tell them what happened and the part #.

My inner clutch bell bearing was actually too big, it wouldn't even go in My AVID fit though.

+1 only the avid fit

I raced yesterday for the first time since I installed the J-Dub rear hub mod. Not one bearing issue. I ordered just the plastic modded rear hubs. I was pleased they lasted the entire day. 3 - 5 min quals and 1 - 25 min main with 30-45 min or practice. J-Dub mod is the way to go. Thanks J-Dub great job. The last 30 min main I ran the outer bearing was so busted that all the balls were missing and the race and inner were completely separated. I don't know how it finished the race, that problem is gone. The truck works well together now. I am very pleased.

What shock ends is everyone using instead of the stock ones???

just use new stock ones as I only have had 1x come out but others have had 2 or more come out as they are spun in to fast at factory causing threads to melt and reason they can fall out...so theres nothing wrong with the stock ends only the way they are put into the shaft.

sweet thanks. that makes sense! are the 2.0 shock ends the same as the 1.0 shock ends? How is everyone's stock clutch bearings holding up??

Judging from my bearings now it looks like they will last untill I have to rebuild the clutch.
3 pratice days 6hrs or more and one race weekend, and they are as smooth as new.
