The USPS saga has reached an end. I'm satisfied in knowing my little package of “Made in Alaska RC bearings” wasted as much of the governments time/money it did by taking the route it decided to take.

Winter Evening bearings? I buy from that guy all the time. Better than Fast Eddy, who sent me a bearing missing a seal with the one and only set I have ever bought from them.

That would be correct. I’ve never been impressed with Fast Eddy bearings, I always seem to end up with random seized bearings, despite staying away from moisture. I saw these were made local(ish) and decided to give them a try. They look pretty good and feel like they have lots of grease in the races, but we’ll see how they hold up.

I found him on ebay years ago. While I don't run my RC's nearly as much as most people, I have never had a problem with WE bearings. And he's good dude too. He'll put together custom bearing kits for you if you contact him.

You and me both. I had 2x ibuprofen and 2x paracetamol for breakfast.

So the pup decided to eat roughly a cup and a half of bird seed shells that have fallen from our feeders. How do I know it's a cup and half? Well...cuz he threw it all up this morning .

The silver lining, he at least waited until 6am instead of it being in the middle of the night.

Looks like I need to clean up some bird seed shells today.

So............are you going to go plant that vomit somewhere?

Haha! No, it's 99% sunflower seed shells, so no plants from these. I will likely be using the shop vac to remove any additional shells from the landscaping rock today, ugh.

Yeah, I rarely buy specific kit bearings unless I'm just being lazy. I buy them in bulk as well. In the last 10 years, I've maybe bought 4 bearing kits. And one was a kit Winter Evening put together specific for my build (X-Maxx with larger RPM carriers), which he now sells a kit for I believe.

My package says made in China, designed in the USA. I’m curious if he actually makes them in house and just sourced the parts from overseas or if he just buys bulk bearings from aliexpress and packages them up in a nice bag.

Maybe one of these days I can get a tour
