Default RE: Ball bearings vs Roller

Sam,
It is also important to know how much thrust they take, - in a model aircraft situation this is not great and a standard ball bearing works well.
Of course an angular thrust type would be a better but more expensive solution, - but unnecessary.
Only 1 ballbearing is needed, and I believe that this engine, ( if it is the same as mine ) has castings made to allow room for ballbearings originally, which helps.
