Just found a seller on ebay that has a full set for a 10t . Asking 17.50 which includes shippjng. Any thought on the rubber sealed or price?

bearings are really cheap these days.

even really good ones are just as cheap or close enough to junk.

i highly recomend you buy from avidrc.com. they are $1.00 each.

rubber sealed are good, but IMHO the ones avid sells called "revolutions" are even better. they have a rubber seal on one side and metal sheild on the other. this translates into less friction as rubber seals do increase friction. all you do is install them with the rubber seal facing out and the metal sheild on the inside where it stays clean.

x2 on avid. And with rubber sealed bearings you can do away with the felt gasket.

Kaiser, these are the ones you like? http://avidrc.com/product/1/bearings/48/316-x-38-x-18-Revolution-R166-RSZ-bearings.html

I would like to replace some older bearings and some bushings in a few Losi stadium trucks. Any idea if these would do the trick?

Also for the trans? the price seems right at a dollar a piece. Have to see what the shipping cost will be. Thanks for the link.

Just followed the link onthe revolution bearings .. love the idea of being able to take out the rubber side n put metal in its place if you want.

I agree, I think I will give them a shot.
