Curious on a good bearing upgrade kit for sbr 2.0?

[spence]

Hi guys, I'm still a bit bummed that every losi I've ever got has always had crappy shielded ball bearings... I had my eye on the fast eddy ceramic bearing kit, but honestly I've never been a fan of fast eddy bearings honestly... I had my eye on this avid bearing kit, not sure if the 1.0 and 2.0 bearing kits are the same or not..

Ceramic bearings are not good for bash rigs, they don't hold up to shock loads very well. As far as bearings, you better off getting a list of your sizes and searching for them individually. If your the lazy sort, like me, then grab whatever kit that tickles your fancy. Most bearings, even Timken, skf, fagg, and nachi, are made over seas these days. Last bearing I got, the "best" ones we could source locally at the time were straight up china bearings. They have out lasted skf bearings by a few months, and counting now.
You'll also just need to accept most of these bearings are a tad small for the load they get, and will require frequent changes. Sucks, but seems to be the name of the game.
