glad you made this video have had alot of questions and you answered them all as far as engine ceramic bearing Merry Christmas to your family and thanks for this video your opinion means alot to me
In my opinion, basic maintenance and roiling of your bearings is more important than the type of bearing. You are running most people simply throw them in and forget about them until they stop working basic routine maintenance is key.
To add on to this, front ceramic engine bearings are a bad idea. They have the possibility of taking hits from what ever the track/surface will throw at your car and possilbly fail even faster. 100% steel front with steel and rubber seals on it. Steel helps with strength and the rubber helps keep fine dirt from getting inside or both sides rubber.
Love nitro so much!! Ceramic bearings are just too expensive for me lol, I can't justify the spending when I could spend the money on fuel and drive more!
I get what you're saying, but You'll get more gallons out of your engine spending that extra money on a rear ceramic bearing than you will spending it on fuel. Front ceramic I wouldn't worry about and just use a regular steel bearing. As the front bearing is also exposed to eternal damage possibilites and the rear bearing isn't. Plus a lot of your rotational mass in the engine is more so on the rear bearing. Lighten it and make it smoother to spin and there will be less friction causing wear on your engine. Gotta trust Adam on this one! It's SERIOUSLY not one of those vids that he makes to make us spend more money on RC's . It's 100% the truth!
Just got my new Protek Samurai R03 engine. Spin the crank and it feels terrible. Like the bearings have flat spots. I took the engine apart, and the engine looks beautiful but if you put your finger on the bearing and spin it, I have never felt a bearing so rough. Gotta call Amain and see if they can sort this out. I have always had steel bearings and never experienced anything other than buttery smooth.
Wouldn't ceramic bearings improve fuel mileage along with heat reduction. For those reasons the ceramic is worth it. All out speed does not mean a win.
I put Avid Ceramic Bearings in TRX 3.3 Engine to fix the crappy bearing it comes with and added O.S 11k carburetor. Now it solid engine. I like Trx engines i wish they put better bearing and carburetor.
