So its time to replace my bearings. I did some looking trying to upgrade from the Traxxas versions, which seemed ok, but I had already replaced the wheel bearings twice in less than 2 years. One of the higher recomended bearing places was Boca Bearings. Their website I found easy to navigate, they had 8 different levels of bearings, from basic to high end ceramic. They range in price from $19-238(US$). I ordered the green seal bearings ($31), which seemed to fit my needs the best. Also noticed that once I placed the order,they offer free shipping if the weight is under 1 lb. Used Pay-Pal and it took 5 days, and that includes crossing the border. They include 15 of the wheel bearings, that are also used in the gear box, also 4 bearings for the bell crank.
There website says that the green bearings are sealed for life and should last approx. twice as long as the factory bearings, but with regular maintence they can last even longer. To this point I’m very happy with the whole experince, and only time will tell whether they are as good as they claim. In the end they also send you an e-mail roughly once a month with tips/offers and different products. The last one I recieved was for 25% off my next order. So when looking for new bearings, check out Boca Bearings.
