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 .

Status: offline 		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.
