😅😂😂Thanks my guy... You have just cost me 1,200 today! As soon as my Fireteam comes in, I am tearing it completely apart! I am going to do WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE from the factory!!! *MAKE ARRMA GREAT AGAIN* lol Edit: I have not been into RC for the last 9 years! No joke you have played great role/influence to me talking myself back into this endless money pit of a hobby! I hope coming back to it with this revives the fun I used to have! (and am not making a big mistake) -Former 1:8 scale buggy, and truggy racer from 2002-2012! Team XRay! Hardcore Basher/Thrasher with 3 or 4 Savages, and a couple Losi LST's ... I am only 36, but I go WAYYYY BACK LOL!

ya when i blew out my same bearing as yours with my kraton or i mean team durango Dex8t same bearing though and cvds my cvd shaft was bent right where it connects to the wheel hub and it caused the bearing to blow out.

@mike-yc8bi 2 года назад

No lie them bearings kinda crap for this quality of rc it's not a Amazon special its top of the line so should atleast have good shielded bearing.... but that's only some it... alot to explain... but that driveshaft coming out of the cup is probably what messed the bearing up when the shaft is out an bound up an your still moving the suspension up an down turning the wheels left/right while rolling is a ton of strain on the cheap bearing.... I'd be checking into why it came out pivot ball issue or droop screw issue keep that driveshaft in check an that will help your next bearing to.... keep bashing guy...

@khrisyeet8022 2 года назад

My Mojave did that like every pack.I used BocCa bearings, and fast eddy. Same issue. I ended up having to get the HR steering blocks. After that no more issues. bTW First

@JohnnyAirtimeJensen Год назад

I don't see the HR Steering Blocks available for the Fireteam. What's the part number you used? My first run, I bumped into a rock and blew out the drivers side inner bearing. Seems with those BIG tires, the wheel bearings are a bit sloppy in the knuckle (steering block). I noticed that before I even took'er for a rip. That's okay... as, I'd rather have a cheap part blow out then break something costly or unobtainable.

@YeetLord666 Год назад

@J Jensen that's because the arms for the fireteam are off of the Kraton. The fireteam is essentially a mishmash of a Mojave body and kraton arms

@semirla Год назад

My passenger front side bearing blew off on second pack with the servo. I just contacted Horizon. I watched your video and expecting to break and it did. I was doing some donuts in the rain and may be water got in to the bearings. I don't know why the servo failed though ....

Hey, I don't know if anybody else said so .. but you'll keep losing front bearings if you don't shim out that side to side slop . keep even pressure = less fixin it lol

@rt66rc86 2 года назад

I don't know Guy, having never ran that in water, that rust was there when you bought it and weakened that bearing and may also effect the others it appears now. Unless Arrma removes the seals and takes a close look at the bearings, they wouldn't know about that either! I don't know what their QC protocols are. But this looks like a problem that can happen to any of the RC manufactures. Really enjoyed your LIVE last night! Lot of great RC subs in there! Learned a few things! I'm also thinking that plastic carriers flex enough to perhaps put stress on the bearings and also allow for grit to pass by the bearings and get inside the carriers. In my younger days on farms and ranches, we greased bearings twice a day. I might try greasing the carrier bearings on my Maxx and keep running it in that sand to see what turns up!

@rcguygarage 2 года назад

Apparently i did ryn it in snow once BUT i did dry it off and wouldnt the existing oil in the bearings that are sealed supposed to keep water out?

@rt66rc86 2 года назад

@@rcguygarage Some oils would do well for that! In my earlier life, I was well involved in SWAT and Weapons Instruction in LE. One of the important aspects of "tool" maintenance that we were taught at several of the schools that I attended, was how to keep rust at bay. One product that worked extremely well at that was "Break Free", the same cleaner/lubricant that the US Military uses on their "tools". I've been using it for well over 40 years and have never suffered a rust issue on any of my own personal "tools" under any wet weather conditions. I use it on all of my fishing and hunting gear. I plan on using Break Free exclusively on all of the bearings in my own RC cars in the future after getting this education from you and others about RC bearings! You might consider trying it, it has passed stringent military tests where rust kills important equipment!

@crazyivan512 2 года назад

Arrma Maintenance says.. diff service after 10 packs, and shock service after 20 packs, they do not specify a service schedule for the wheel hub bearings.. but I guess you could "surmise" that if they want the diffs done at 10 packs, and shocks at 20 packs.. those bearings would be "recommended" perhaps at 10 packs ? But personally I would never even consider replacing those bearings before 20 packs.. but from seeing how the bearing looked when you pulled it out.. its a poor quality, and will def. let dirt and water in after just a few runs, just another sign of cost cutting and poor QC from a manufacturer. Its disappointing for sure and is def. holding me back from picking up any new RCs . And if I took the bearings apart for cleaning, I would have used some hi-temp grease, just for the thickness since the seal doesnt seem very good on those cheap bearings and I would worry the liquid lube would just leak out.. just my 2 pennies worth ..

@rcguygarage 2 года назад

yes figured this bearing was already used why not try something that i don't normally use

@readeracingRC Год назад

If I take my bearings apart, I pop the dust cover off and pack them like I would wheel bearing on my full size rigs. I use Lucus green or red grease. Also pack the voided area between bearings. Just my opinion. I haven't blown a bearing sense. Have Fun.

@rcguygarage Год назад

Yep if caught in time I use permatex ceramic extreme lube on rubber sealed but this wasn't enough packs to warrant this premature destruction . . . Flawed design and JUNK material used

@TheDudeRc 11 месяцев назад

I didnt make it through my first pack before having same issue. No flips, impacts or sand running. Just in a parking lot and super short grass and all the sudden it started doing donuts. Grabbed the rig and saw the exact same thing. Just ordered the HR knuckles with the larger bearings as this seems to be a common issue.

@alantaylor353 2 года назад

Nope.. That bearing definitely shouldn't have blown out. I feel your pain, I've got RCs that are 3 or 4 years old running on original bearings.. I've also got RCs that blew bearings withing a month or so.! Btw, I've heard people say that you shouldn't oil bearings & CV/UJs if you're running in dusty conditions because you'll end up with a gritty paste inside everything which will wear your stuff out quickly. I personally don't know what's best.. Sometimes I'll oil up, sometimes I don't.. A bit like naughty fun time with the missus.! LOL.

@iandawson3338 Год назад

Thanks a lot. I just blew mine out yesterday lol

@jwoocrew Год назад

Been looking at reviews knowing I have one under the XMas tree. Seems like it's always an issue with the bearings. I'll be sure to check mine first thing and perhaps get an extra set on order. Usually when I order spare parts for things I never end up having to use them LOL. Also I have only seen one video on replacing bearings which includes adding spacers to eliminate slop. Should we be checking and adding spacers to?

@rcguygarage Год назад

The issue is the cheaply sourced bearings from the manufacturer

@101taco101 2 года назад

Thank you for the up close view so I could see exactly what to do. My fireteam had the bearings on the front left and back right blow out just like yours. I got it used so I’m unsure how mistreated it may have been but I’ve been driving rc cars for years and have never blown out bearings despite not performing maintenance as often as I should. Already ordered replacements (not arrma brand) and I’m going to switch them all out.

@rcguygarage 2 года назад

My Mojave took a good forward flip/tumble and popped the same axle and bearing. I believe if they get over stressed it happens. Mine was in perfect condition and I replaced it ,set droop screws and put some more preload in it and haven't had a problem since.

@samtronicsvideo7232 Год назад

A QUESTION….. Hello… excellent video, well done…. Question… if the Fireteam needs new wheel bearings, are there better replacements than the original ones from Arrma? I would not want to install the same kind of Arrma bearings if there is a better option… thanks in advance for your suggestions….Kindest Regards…. Ron

@rcguygarage Год назад

You can purchase larger hubs that would be aftermarket that would house a larger bearing otherwise yes installing just better bearings from either Jim's bearings or Fast Eddie If staying with stock hubs. It is honestly dependent on how hard you drive and turn to where the bearings are a consumable item

@samtronicsvideo7232 Год назад

Hi again…. Sorry to bother you again, but Can you tell me the exact wheel bearing replacement part numbers from Frast Eddie? Thanks…. Ron

@Tankbrusher 2 года назад

That early? Mate, I just burned out both on the rear of the Mojave exb on pack 4 xD took both hub carriers with it and top it off - had to drill out the screw locking the pin and lost the thread on the axle by doing so... Running on similar terrain like you do.

@JohnnyAirtimeJensen Год назад

At min 30.... you wonder why there's so much grit "in a sealed area". Well, it's not sealed. The bearings fit loosely in the steering block. They don't press in, nor have a rubber seal between bearing and block. If they PRESSED in, like a bearing into a alum wheel hub.... then, yes. They'd be sealed. The tolerances just aren't there. Maybe the Hot Racing block is a pressed in fit, and eliminates that issue?! Anyone with HR blocks who can attest to it or not?

@RON4RC 2 года назад

Yep both my exb Mojave and my felony done this on the inside rear bearing on one wheel only. And only after 4/5 packs from new. Now I replaced them with the blue sealed bearings and sorted ....no more issues. I've had both RC'S for about 18 mths now still all good. I'm just putting it down to a bad couple of bearings. I don't understand how you popped the drive shaft out tho 🤔.... I don't Think it was related to the bearing she should have run on with the outside bearing support. Who knows. Hopefully it's ok mate. I was loving the run with this rc at DD2 before that happened great fun. I'm hoping you take it back there it's a interesting and exciting spot for testing these rc's out. Thanks T. For the repair vid 👌

The shaft popped cause the inner bearing allowed the spindle to push though the hub 👍

Oh I get ya... Thanks for that ... I really wasn't sure, but that makes sense. 😊

Has anyone tried the TRB 15x21x4mm bearings from Ama? If so... are they better than stock? Don't really want/need to put HR alum steering blocks right now, as I know that'll help solve the issues all together BUT transfer the load to another part when bashing those big tires into stationary objects.

I also put oil on the inside between the outer & inner bearings because it makes sense in my mind too.!!

Yep! 💯

What size is that bearing that went out??

@knowair6767 2 года назад

Just wanted to say, this is both a quality control issue and design flaw IMO. My bro had the same bearings fall apart on the second run with a brand new talion exb. I've replaced those same bearings on both the mojave and kraton more times than I can remember. The bearings are just too small for the job they're tasked with, add to that the "lowest priced supplier wins"..and, well you know the rest..love the channel Guy!!

Those bearings shouldn't crap out so quickly but that diamond dust driving is definitely tough on them. The only thing i could think of that would be as corrosive to run on for bearings would be salt water. Hoping mine don't go that quickly. I do mostly grassy field driving and no big jumps so I should be safe.

I usually give my bearing a little shot of WD 40. I'm not sure how much it helps or hurts. I do end up getting my rc's wet all the time during the winter driving in the snow. I just throw them in the bathtub to dry out since the snow isn't muddy. But I don't usually take the tires off and check bearings that often. I do check them whenever I have a reason to take the tires off. I'll be looking forward to seeing you check the bearings after the next time you drive the fire team at diamond dust to see if the oil helped or made mud!! Great little maintenance vid Guy!! 💯

Yeah my better half HATES IT🤣🤣

I think what’s happening is the rubber is getting hot and the oil is cheap and burning up. I have a Kraton v3 still never touched one bearing. Great job @RC Guy garage. Thanks
