[andys]

Noticed my rear hub bearings had died today, anyone reccomend somewhere to get a new set, or indeed a full car bearing set ?

Click my link, 410 kits are in stock also, you will not be dissapointed
At the moment though I only do complete kits. Individual bearings available in the near future.

www.rcbearings.co.uk are brilliant and cover many models. I used them on my old D410R

Rc bearings use Abec1 rated bearings as stated here -

The next level is abec3 rated which i used in the "budget" kits, then the next up are the Abec5 rated and considerably better, all the kits I now sell are the Abec5 rated, nothing less

why is an abec 3 or 5 bearing "considerably better"?

the higher the rating the more spherical the bearing, the tolerances are much tighter, the better the ball the more free the bearing runs and smoother operating.

this is worth a read if interested
