Sort of off topic but if you think ceramic bearings are expensive, just know that they are worth every penny. They make regular bearings look like bushings!

hey, how long you have been using the cer ceramics bearing? Are they really good.. in terms of durability? I'm really interested to get some from acer but not sure if they are good..

I use STRC knuckles, they have the larger 6x15 bearing like the RPM but no flex and are very light link
and 2 of these bearings for the inside link , the TRX blue seal bearings fell apart after a month, havent had a problem since

Mothman, the Acer bearings carry an ABEC-5 rating (1,3,5,7,9). For all intents and purposes related to RC, you won't find a better bearing. Any ABEC rated bearing at all would be very good. I've had mine for about 6 months doing WOT sprints up and down my street. I haven't noticed any wear at all.
