Poll: new Avid rubber sealed bearing sizes? Any interest?
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 1:31 pm
Hello all,
I was talking with Avid R/C, and they said they may consider selling some new bearing sizes with rubber seals if there was enough interest. I specifically asked them about 1/4 x 3/8 flanged and 3/16 x 5/16 flanged bearings, used as wheel bearings and inside the 6 gear transmission. I have no idea how big the market for those is, but I know I would like to be able to run in mud without worrying about exploding bearings or short bearing life. If anyone else feels the same way, please vote yes.
