Q: Do ceramic bearings offer significant weight savings overtraditional steel bearings?
…bearings however do offer a significant weight savings by about 2/3 the weight of traditional steel bearings. Unfortunately full ceramic bearings are not appropriate for many RC…
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: 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?
…side. However, on the front bearing there is no need to remove either seal. Keeping both seals on offers better protection for the bearing. These bearings are lubed with grease and…
Q: How do I remove the bearings from my RC engine?
…bearings into the engine while it is still slightly warm. These instructional videos show how to remove and install RC Nitro Engine Bearings Part 1, how to remove and install RC…
Q: Do full ceramic bearings need lubrication?
…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 also…

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: Can the seals be removed from lightning ceramic bearings for maintenance?
A: Depending on the bearing size and our current inventory this will vary from bearing to bearing. The best thing to do is contact us and let us know the make and model of your…
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 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: What is the performance difference between the following threetype of bearings: Ceramic Metal Shield, Ceramic Yellow Seal andCeramic Ultra Seal?
A: Ceramic Metal Shield bearings are metal shielded and offer the least resistance of the three. These bearings need frequent cleaning but will give you the best performance. Not…
Q: What kind of performance enhancement should I expect from ceramic bearings?
…general ceramic 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…
