anyone else having trouble accessing Paul's site for www.rc-bearings.com? I need to look at some bearings on there, and I get this when I go to that site:

Looks as if there's a problem with the server. Not much you can do until it comes back up.

I get the same.....looks like it is down for now.

John, it's not you. I'm guessing one of two things happened. 1. he was making some changes and slipped up and he'll catch it soon, or 2. his domaine name expired and he will realize it soon.

If anyone has his email address, you may send him a note. If it bounces, chances are the domaine name as expired.

Glad to know its not just me and my 'puter
John

John,

You are typing in an incorrect address!

It is [link=http://rc-bearings.com/]http://rc-bearings.com/[/link].


The WWW you entered, is linked to some other URL, which is probably not for everyone...

This site is completely accessible and unlimited.

Dar,

Most computers translate the www to the http://

I just tried the www.rc-bearings.com on my Powermac G5 running Leopard/Safari and it went right to the site but automatically translated the address to the http://rc-bearings.com/ like you mentioned. My IBM(s) running XP/Firefox will do the same thing

This address works as well.

[link=http://www.rc-bearings.com/]http://www.rc-bearings.com/[/link]

Hey Guys another good place to get bearings:www.bocabearings.com Just thought you would like to look other places if you need to

Boca is really expensive[:@] compared to rc bearings. However they are good for uncommon bearings that rc bearings do not stock.

I spent about $50.00 for new bearings at Boca which is a little less than stock from the Manufacturer. If rc bearings carried what I needed, I would have ordered from them

Richard

Yeah... if you want to pay a fortune for a fancy bag and logo :-)

As another posted suggested, perhaps Boca have a better range but rc-bearings have 95% of all the common sizes (for model engines) and you're not paying a fortune for fancy packaging -- just good quality bearings at excellent prices.

The fact that one company has to rely on heavy advertising and branding while the other scores almost all its sales by word of mouth speaks volumes for which offers the better deal (IMHO).

If you need a certain size, RC-Bearings can get it for you if it is available anywhere. They have come through with some specials for me in the past.

I have got my bearings ordered today for my saito 180, I ordered the double rubber sealed for the front and a stainless for the rear.
This engine is blowing fuel out the front like nobody's business and its being thrown back by the prop blast. Im thinking but not sure (W8YE , chime in if you want to comment), that this leakage would have an effect of an air leak when the engine is running? I bought it used, and Ive run appx a gallon of 30% thru it- its on a Skyshark christen eagle, and it was turning a apc 16x8 at 9800 rpms. The last couple times Ive taken it out to the field, I havent been able to get a good tune on it, it is surging up and down at high speed, I changed the pushrod seals and covers last weekend hoping that would cure the fuel leak. Nope, still leaks like a sieve. I flew it this past Saturday in the gale force winds, so the bearings are about the only thing left to change ( I would hope so anyway, lol)
Anyway, Paul at rc-bearings has the best price going for our engines needs, in my opinion.
Thanks,
John

Thanks,

I wish Paul had mine for $20.00, [:@], that would mean that I would have an extra $30.00 or two sets plus $10.00.....oh well there always is a next time....
