Q: How long does it take to break in a bearing?
…weight oil. As a result the bearing generally will not free spin to the touch. Over time as the lube thins out, and warms up during each use, the bearing will become much freer.…
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?
…submerged for a length of time it could result in corrosion and subsequent failure. As long as the seals are kept intact they will last you a long time without maintenance. If you…
Q: When should I replace my bearings?
…or notchie to the touch, they should be replaced. When bearings sit idle for a long time they must be protected from any and all moisture. This is a common problem when storing…
Q: What kind of performance enhancement should I expect from ceramic bearings?
…see about 2-3 times the life out of a ceramic bearing as compared to a standard bearing. This is because ceramic is harder than steel in ball form; it is 3-4 times the Rockwell…
Q: Are greased bearings lubed for the life of the bearing?
…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 lubrication dissipates varies greatly…
Q: What kind of maintenance do sealed bearings require?
…with a heavy duty, lithium based grease. When the lube fully dissipates it is generally time to replace the bearing. However this does not mean that you cannot extend the life of…
Q: What is the performance difference between the following threetype of bearings: Ceramic Metal Shield, Ceramic Yellow Seal andCeramic Ultra Seal?
…and offer lower friction than the rubber seals. They require a small amount of break in time and are recommended for on-road or indoor use only. They should not be run on water or…
