Engine bearings
The bearing are shot in my f4.6. HPI doesn't list replacement bearings, just includes them with the crankcase. What size are they so I can get new ones?

I know where I can get them, but I need to know what size/type of bearing to get.

Front bearing 7mmX19mmX6mm $1.89: http://www.rc-bearings.com/catalog/p...roducts_id=623
Rear bearing 14mmX25mmX6mm $5.39: http://www.rc-bearings.com/catalog/p...roducts_id=964
High speed stainless steel bearings.
I've gotten bearings from there and have no complaints. Shipping is fast, too.

RE: Engine bearings
Avid bearings are Very good. Again the price is up a little because they are quality bearings. Boca and Avid are #1 IMO. My only complaint is he is in the r/c business and finding your bearings needed is a PITA on his site. Boca does have the search function nailed. I personally dont wanna Mic every bearing I need. He didn't have the engine bearing for my .28 either
