I only pointed out that the ABEC rating is higher than the others and jumped on the band wagon talking nonsense about being unsuitable and shorter lifespan.
they are and have

these bearings have had extensive testing and have been running these bearings myself with better sucess than standard bearings, I wouldnt use any other bearing since using these.
you have test data to back this claim

this may be your opinion on the matter and yes it differs from mine, if your not convinced then im not going to convince you, but have you had experiance with different rated bearings and lifespan of each bearing? because you sound like you have but are then stating that an adequate bearing is inadequate and the longer lifespan is in fact a shorter lifespan.
Both those statements are very untrue.
yes not sure what you mean why?

i am not jumping on a bandwagon, i just dont want to see people who use this site getting advice to buy items which are not necessary or have higher spec than required. the problem you have is the RC community comes from a wide spectrum of society and professions, for example i spent today at a race meeting, in the tent we were sharing we had a retired chief engineer from british steel, a graphic designer from a major rc company, two degree qualified specialists in marketing, a manager from Hewlett packard, two rc customer support people and an engineering manager from the Food industry. you pick a subject and i can guarantee there is a specialist in that area on this site, make claims about your bearings but dont get the arse when somebody picks you up on that.
