Bearing Grease

[RcJunkie13]

Just going over the bearings, should I pack them with grease or no? (Xmaxx)

Thanks

replace with sealed bearings !!! also which bearings and where ?

 

[RcJunkie13]

They are sealed... wheel and diff bearings+ center diff

 

[Rep732]

Bearings with rubber shields are still considered sealed.

@RcJunkie13 don't completely pack the bearing just take like an exacto knife or smaller flat head and lay some grease in lightly and make sure the bearing has the new grease all the way around.

well if they are sealed do NOT unseal them ! they will fail to stay packed , replace sealed bearings if needed.

If your careful with the shield you'll be fine. And as others will say don't waste your time their cheap. I say go for it clean and grease them as long as the bearing is in good shape and has no dirt intrusion

in my expirience sealed bearings remain fine and with plenty of grease as long as they remain sealed , IF there is a break or spot where grease can leak out replace them anyhow , something caused this to happen.

If your gonna grease them inside a DIff. just remove the fekkin seals and stuff em.

Will do

I'd just go to your local bearing shop and replace em with high speed rubber sealed ones.
You get high quality bearings at half the price RC places charge.

Bearings are cheap. Can pick up a 10pack for around $10-$15. I just ordered some 8x22x7, 10 pack for $7.

Sizes are ID x OD x W

All these bearings have Industry #'s that are standard across all industries , there are cross references out there that show all types and variations , I use an extended inner ring mini bearing on a product I have made for 20+ yrs , there are good ones and OK ones , usually the price reflects this but things like FAST EDDY is just marketing. ( I Have never used Fast Eddy bearings FYI and I am just using them as an example ) .

Fast eddy has smoking deals on bearings... their cheaper than my local bearing store

 

[Z.hb71]

Fast eddy bearing kits are a fecking rip off. But ,you can buy single bearings and they are very cheap, like 1-3 dollars per bearing.

Fast Eddy is waay over priced. They wanted $33 for 8 bearings that I just bought for $7. Shipped! lol

Well the bearings for my 5t are 1.99 a piece. Sure go with the acme chinese savings bundle and you get low quality poop bearings. My local bearing store would charge more than that and ill call for a price comparison. Hell name brand bearings for skate boards when I was a kid went anywhere from 10 to 40 a set. Anyone remember Swiss bearings?


Remember 5th scale isn't and shouldn't be cheap for quality stuff . Im fine with paying $2 a bearing

 

[DougStar]

Anyone remember Swiss bearings

[Rep732]
