the dimensions for the front bearing is 7x17x5 mm its the same size bearing that is in the traxxas 2.5r and possible many other engines.

Don't order from bocabearing. I recently ordered their best package (ceramic) for the sirio .23 to find out that their seals are crap. I installed their front bearing and it leaks terribly.

I found out that my stock revo 2.5r has the same size front bearing (same numbers on the side too) so I swapped it since I'm not using the 2.5 and now I'm back in business!

Save yourself the trouble and don't order from bocabearings, I probably wouldn't order from acr either, probably uses the same seals. You can use the front stock bearing from your traxxas 2.5r and I'm sure its the same as the 3.3 too. I would imagine your local hobby store stocks the traxxas bearing so you might not even have to order and wait.

Good Luck!

ScRacing.. I take it the 12x19x6 and 12x18x6 you earlier ordered didn't work?

The trx barings are not the same size, i got my baring in yesterday, and 7x18x6 is the perfect size, so im sending my barings back to acer and having them send me one back.

7x18x6... thats strange? they must make different sirio monster .23's because my front bearing is a 7x17x5, same size bearing as my traxxas 25r

hi
i also need to get the front bearing for my sirio
but before i do that i need to pull my old one out first
the problem is the rubber that seals the bearing came of
so when i pulled the crankshaft out the center piece of the bearing just fell out
now im left with a hollow bearing and i cant think of a way to pull it out
any help would appreciated
thanks

let us know what size your new bearing is and if it fit or not? wondering if they make different models? cause ScRacing outer diameter is 18 where mine is 17mm.

I would definitely suggest not ordering from boca cause the bearing they sent me leaked just as bad as my old one and they are way over priced. I would order directly from sirio's distributer kyosha. I left the detail for ordering in a earlier post. The bearing is only $9.
