The vast majority of our team all use the Vampire Ceramic ones, they are super smooth, last ages and best of all are the cheapest out there at just £8.99 (12) or the bulk pack of 48 for just £29.99. These are available from all good X-Factory UK stockists

We are now offering the complete line of bearings used in the Squared Kit, and D.M.S.' are being shipped today. Press release soon.

They are not the most expensive bearings available, but they work quite well in off-road. I don't know many off-roaders who clean the grease out of their bearings, then re-oil because that one ten-thousandth reduction in rolling resistance is the key to victory. Our bearings are remarkably inexpensive and good value for money.

#6500 diff balls, 12/pack @ $9.99.

The ubiquitous 3/16" X 3/8" rubber sealed wheel bearing, which fits lots of other places too, 4/pack @ $3.89, less than a dollar each. #6200

Brian and Paul have been running these bearings for a couple of months with no failures -- everything rolls free and smooth. They will be in the hands of the world-wide Team soon.

And let's not get into a discussion of whether it's 1/100 or 1/10,000. That's not the point here. X Factory's goal is to be the very fastest car on the track while at the same time offering great value. Our bearings do just that.

Zipper, don't confuse dollars and pounds. $9.99 = about 6.66 pounds. There will be import duties and V.A.T. plus shipping to U.K., so I'm not sure what the final will be.
