Nice use of OSC for the site.

Well I never heard of them, but the 2 guys experience was nothing to shake a stick at.

Maybe something else to look into.......

I was just going to ask about them. Are they good bearings? What are the best bearing to get for your cars?

I've been running boca green seals on my maxx and xxx-nt. Kind of pricey, but isn't everything?

Boca are pretty good bearings. They are holding up way better than the duracrap ones my LHS advised me to buy... bastards!

Never heard of this brand though. Will be interesting to see how they hold up. They are pretty cheap.

In looking at those bearings they look like they are decent quality honestly. I wouldn't mind picking up a set. They are decently priced and look like they are quality constructed.

Alright, dredged up an old one here. I'm on my 5th complete tear down rebuild of the off season and the cost of replacing bearings is out-of-control. My judging of good vs. bad bearing is far more tolerant than a month ago. I remember someone mentioning avidrc.c o m as a source for low cost bearings. upon a search of the almighty RCNT I found this thread. Anybody used these babies yet?? Attached is a link to 6x12x4 (which I beleive is a standard T-Maxx wheel bearing) $1.00 ea, sounds good to me, any thoughts??

Haven't used them yet, but they are 1/3 the cost of boca bearings. In packs of 4, boca green seals are $11.95 ($3 each). http://www.bocabearings.com/main1.aspx?p=product&id=2454&n=*BWK126-2RS

I'll have to remember them the next time I order bearings.

I have spoken to avid about 5 months ago about doing a review. Sence they focus on buggy bearings I asked El Priata it he was interested. He said yes and never did anything.

I've bought bearings from them for my old k3. They arn't as good as kyosho bearings, but at a buck a pop for clutch bearings they are hard to beat, if you replace them as much as I do.

They are great bearings, I put them in my pcr and haven't had any problems yet. Their clutch bearings need to have the excess oil/greese blown out of them. They have a tutorial on how to do that, if you don't they won't last long because the excess will spin into your cb and cause it to heat and kill the bearings.
