siblues Losi DBXL build

[evssv]

sum times yes ?...or if i don't have a spare I'll give it a clean out an reoil /reuse it?
if there fresh new ones i jus put em in?

 

[siblues]

I can tell you this the new bearings are a night and day comparison to the original Losi's.I have only driven the truck on grass and astro turf and the bearings sounded like they had sand in them and two of the eight bearings were having issues spinning freely.The truck has been driven less than two hours total.I am guessing the open wheel nuts are part of the problem but I could be wrong.

 

[evssv]

shite metal sheilded bearings is the prob ?...u'd thk the price they charge for these things they could atleast put sum rs ones in ffs

 

[Seandonato73]

Cant say I've ever felt the need to oil, or reuse bearings. And yeah the metal sealed ones suck extra hard.

 

[evssv]

closed wheel nuts always look nice?

 

[Z.hb71]

Back on topic... my experience with metal shielded bearings is that you don't run them in dirt or off road. They are freer spinning (considered high speed) than rubber sealed bearings but the rubber sealed ones do a much better job of keeping dirt out. Both have their uses and pros and cons. The metal shielded ones are easy to reoil and clean/reuse if you feel inclined to do so. My on road cars all use metal shielded bearings whereas my off road cars use rubber sealed. The rubber seals don't last long on my offroad rigs anyways. Once the seal gets bent or puncture, they're just as useless as any unsealed bearing. IMO they end up trapping dirt inside the seal and end up locking up much sooner than my metal shielded ones.

yep....ok for on road use only?....soooo wtf they doing in a off roader
