Q: How should the Orange Seal bearings be handled before being used?
A: All Orange Seal bearings with an LD (lube dry) in the part number are supplied dry, without grease or oil. AF2 in the part number means light oil and NB2 in the part number…
Q: If I leave my ceramic hybrids dry will they wear faster?
A: Yes, while ceramic hybrid bearings do not need any lubrication to operate the steel races will have a longer life if they have a slight amount of lube on a regular basis.
Q: How often should I clean and lube them and what lube should I use?
A: The only bearings that need to be lubed occasionally are the metal shielded bearings, and they need to be cleaned every 4 - 5 races depending on the length of each race.
Q: Are greased bearings lubed for the life of the bearing?
A: No, traditional steel bearings always need lubrication to have a long life and lubrication will always be reduced over time as it will dissipate with use. How fast the…
Q: I noticed that your Green Seal RC Car & Truck Bearings are "maintenance free and lubed for the life of the bearing." Would these bearings still be maintenance free if run in wet conditions, or even submerged in water?
A: Our green seal bearings are water resistant, not waterproof. They are the best bearings available for off-road racing, through mud, water and dirt. However if submerged for a…
Q: I prefer to buy a bearing kit that is maintenance free aspossible. Which bearing kit is the least maintenance intensive?
A: Rubber sealed bearings will always offer the most protection and be the most maintenance free.
Q: How much maintenance do bearings require?
…lubricants your bearings have. Rubber sealed or Ultra sealed bearings require no maintenance and the lube is good for the life of the bearing. Metal shielded bearings that use…
Q: Do full ceramic bearings need lubrication?
A: No, full ceramic bearings can be run completely dry. They do not need lubrication to run. Ceramic is non-porous, unlike steel, as a result it is virtually frictionless. Ceramic…

Q: How do I calculate the amount of side or thrust load that a bearing can take?
A: Typically a radial bearing can take 5% of its Radial Load in a Thrust Load capacity.
Q: How do your different RC bearing lines compare to the stock bearings that came pre-installed. How much longer will they last?
A: Unfortunately there is never an explicit warranty with bearings. Bearings do eventually wear out and every application, setup and operator is different. It is very difficult to…
Q: What kind of maintenance do sealed bearings require?
