Q: Do your bearings come with a warranty?
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?
…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 the seals will keep…
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: How do I remove the bearings from my RC engine?
…remove it from the oven your old bearings should fall right out, if not heat the engine a little longer. We also suggest you place your bearings inside a ziploc bag and keep them…
Q: How do I properly spin test my fishing reel bearings before installation?
…to the bearing. The flick test seems to result in a perception that a ceramic bearing does not spin as long as a steel bearing, but as soon as you put both bearings under load…
Q: Also, can the greased bearings be used out the box, or should they be treated before use?
A: Yes, the stocked greased bearings can be used as is and will give you great performance.
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: When should I replace my bearings?

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