ceramic bearings have less resistance but i don't think you'll notice them, also ceramic bearings don't need oil so they would need less maintenance which is a plus but I don't think the extra cost is worth it, id just go for some good 'ole team fast eddy bearings

These days I go for stainless steel bearings with ceramic balls on the hubs only as it's those bearings that usually needs most maintenance. The rest of the bearings usually last a long time anyway.

Thanks guys I stick with the fast eddy unless you recommend something else .

I run ceramic on my TR HD clutch system but only because I found a good deal on them

My next set is going to be Avid RC bearings. Complete kit for the Baja5b for 26 bucks plus shipping? worth a try for that price
