Bearing upgrades
Hello People!
I am new here and would just like to say what a great informative site this is!
I bought a Nexus 30 a couple of years ago but did'nt fly it much because every time i flew it i crashed,so i did'nt want to
fly it much in case i crashed it again (silly really i know).Anyway recently i thought about having a go at trying to fly it again,
so after a few good flights and no crashes i started to get into it and enjoy it.
Now i know the nexus is a bit old now but it did me to practice on, So now i've got the bug i went out and bought a Raptor v2 30
With some pretty cool hardware,JR Digital servos, OS engine and a really smart Gyro that i plug in and program with my computer (SL 560 Smart Lock).
Now i'me a fussy bugger when it comes to building my helicopters(fussy bugger in general)so i thought i get some upgrades for my raptor before i start building it. I ordered a pack of the thunder tiger raptor bearing upgrade to take it from 29 bb to 49 bb.i ordered the genuine parts but what they delivered was the !QUOT!After Market!QUOT! bearings(cheaper ones). So what i would like to know is are these bearings ok to use or shall i order some official ones from my local hobby shop?
Sorry it's a bit long winded but i just wanted to say Hi!
Thanks for listening(reading)!

RE: Bearing upgrades
Glad your having fun with it. The rappy is a good machine. The bearings you have will work just fine. I wouldn't worry about them.
Put it together, make sure you don't get loctite in a bearing. It will really mess things up.
Have a blast.
