Status: offline 		I've noticed some seals on bearing are black, and some are blue. Does this indicate anything? I ask because I was reviewing  the XRay NT1 2012, and XRay's website touted, "(the car) features high-speed, blue-sealed ball-bearings".

That got me wondering if there is a difference. Seems odd to tout the color since if not - especially because they are not readily seen (if seen at all unless you remove them).  ;-)

Thanks!

I got yellow the last time I ordered just 'cuz.

hmm seems the yellow=speed thing died out somewhat in the early to mid 2000's seriously would ALWAYS see ricers with yellow parts back then
