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 am going through a lot of clutch bell bearings, what can you recommend to get longer life?

A: The clutch bell is a constant source of problems due to excessive heat buildup. The heat levels cause the steel balls to expand and subjects the retainer to a tremendous amount…

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 much maintenance do bearings require?

…sealed or Ultra sealed bearings require no maintenance and the lube is good for the life of the bearing. Metal shielded bearings that use either grease or oil should be constantly…

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: The bearings I received have a green shield on one side and a black shield on the other. Should either of these be removed on the back bearing? What about the front? Are these colored differently to indicate direction or does this matter?

…bearing. These bearings are lubed with grease and the seals will keep the grease in for the life of the bearing so there is no need to worry about lubrication. With regard the rear…

Q: What kind of maintenance do sealed bearings require?

A: All of our sealed bearings are considered maintenance free and lubed for the life of the bearing. This is because they are packed with a heavy duty, lithium based grease. When…

Q: Do your bearings come with a warranty?

…every application, setup and operator is different. It is very difficult to calculate life expectancy without having extremely detailed data about your application. However, Boca…

Q: Are Orange Seal Bearings maintenance free?

…the use of the bearing before re-oiling however. It is advisable to regularly maintain your bearings, by doing so you will extend the life and the performance of the bearings.

Q: What kind of performance enhancement should I expect from ceramic bearings?

…bearings are lighter, stronger and faster. Typically you will see about 2-3 times the life out of a ceramic bearing as compared to a standard bearing. This is because ceramic is…

Q: How do your different RC bearing lines compare to the stock bearings that came pre-installed. How much longer will they last?

…every application, setup and operator is different. It is very difficult to calculate life expectancy without having extremely detailed data about your application. But Boca…

Q: Where can I find technical engineering data about bearings?

…Enclosure Type, RPM Data, Load Rating etc. If you need more detailed information about bearing characteristics, bearing design or bearing life please see our Engineering Guide.
