higher ABEC rating more precise the bearing is and has higher chance to die when dust gets in.
ACER bearings are not bad but are not really dirt/water friendly. Had a set on my mugen and after 4 races half of them died.
I stick to cheap (like 60cents) ABEC 3 steel bearings and will try stainless steel this year that cost like 70cents. They last suprisingly long. of course they are not as smooth as Acer, but i at least remove the grease and put acer bearing oil in.
