I am sure that several of you have already seen these and/or knew about these long before, I am curious just how many of you alerady knew about these.

Of course, Boca is known for the bearings with Ceramic balls and their superior performance. They do not skimp on their bearings.
But the bearings I just ran across are FULL ceramic bearings: not just the balls, the whole entire bearings are ceramic!

Now these full ceramics are not cheap! BUT bveing Boca, they are gauranteed to work and not shatter from normal use. They are not snake-oil I am absolutely sure of that. Otherwise, they would not risk charging so much for them ; their rep would go down the toilet fast if such expensive bearings failed.

   any bearing will fail if not properly maintained.

I heard of them. I never bought them because when I saw them it was 70 dollars a diff i think.

I eventually might give them a try once they perfect their manufacturing methods and thus the costs come down, they are novel and look like they would seriously lighten the RC in the bearing areas. But if these hold up as their more conventional steel housings and ceramic balls, (I really think they will, the price would kill their rep if they dont), then when these come out cheaper, I will definitely buy a set of these
