Don't buy these bearings they lasted a full two race days. On the third race about every bearing started to disintegrate. Really don't waste your money on these bearings I opened brand new bearings to find no oil and or no grease inside. I bought four tubes so it could not have been one bad tube all four is bad. I will never buy these bearings again.
Perfect fit and zero problems they seem to be good quality. After two races no issues.
Awesome cheap bearings!!! 1 dollar 1 bearing and very good quality!! I put the rubber sealed bearings at diffs at my st-rr and the ''DUAL'' with the blue rubber sealed from the one side and the metal seal from the other at my kyosho st-rr wheel hubs and they have no play! VERY GOOD A+!
Great bearings. You can beat the price on them. Easy to pop the seal for cleaning.
I am rebuilding a HPI Savage XL, one of the first things I overlooked was the wheel bearings. After the success I have had with protek ceramic bearings for my clutch bells for my TLR vehicles I bought these and am very impressed!
Reviewers largely praise the fit, tolerance and value of these 8x16x5mm dual sealed bearings, with several noting they run without play after one or two race days and that the price is low for a set of ten. Opinions split sharply on durability and quality: one verified owner reported that all bearings in four tubes failed within about three race days, with no oil or grease inside, while others reported no issues after two races. Reviewers also mention that the seals can be popped open for cleaning and that the dual seal design suits high-speed drivetrains. Several reviews are short or lack a verified-owner flag, and the single failure report is the main outlier.
