Well just to establish the truth on this whole Abec DRAMA!!
Abec ratings are proof of the tolerances between the outer shell to ball and from ball to inner shell or vice versa which ever way your inclined to looking at the bearing.
Now an Abec 1 bearing would more likely to produce more slop in axle applications etc Than something like an Abec 5 would.
An Abec 1 would produce much more vibration at high revs than an Abec 3 would.
Yet an Abec 3 would not neccessarily spool up faster than an Abec 1 for instance.Well that`s not completely true.if all the other components are balanced in the area of application.
This is where things can start to get silly as these are toy cars and not dental drills hehe.Anyway i hope you all in disagreement find your peace.

totally agree, but the comment made about abec5 bearings making laptimes slower is laughable.
