personally i would say avid revolution bearings but they are not available at amain(http://www.avidrc.com/shop/?action=category&id=1)

what size are you looking for?

i think amain only has protek and tko bearings

Thanks

Size would be 5x10mm

Saw a few ceramic bearings, are they worth it.?

Im using HoBao Clutch Bearings at the moment, and they last approx half a gallon...

I always change them out before a race, and after a race.. Im spending a small fortune in these bearings [&:].

ceramic is the way to go, less friction means better preformance,and dont heat up as much.

Giving the Avid's a try too.

Got 10 of the Standard Revolutions, and 4 of the Ceramic Metal bearings in my Cart.

Those fine.?

I buy the $10 tube of 10 protek bearings at amain. They last anywhere from 1 gallon to 2. Then I change them out. Cheap insurance.

They also have 5 ceramic bearings for $10.

I have learned that all bearings are pretty much the same. If you dont set up your clutch right you will eat bearings no matter what.

I have had pretty good luck with the Kyosho clutch bearings and springs.
