Status: offline 		After just over 4 hrs careful running I have experienced bearing failure in my otherwise very satisfactory OS Radial. It's on a Concept 1/4 scale Fleet Bipe turning a 20x8 Zinger using Cool Power 15% FS fuel and on the slightly rich side witt=h a McDaniels Glow Driver. Is this unusual? Any experience as to cause? (Yes I flushed and oiled over the winter storage).
BOCA lists several types of bearing repklacements including ceramic. Any advise regards best replacement type?

Changing bearings in these radials/twins aren't the easiest thing to do. I think these engines need all the protection they can get, and adding castor to your CoolPower would be a good idea to protect against lean runs and to help save the bearings.

I would go with the ceramic bearings in this engine.
