General New bearings

[D.O.G.]

I want to replace the stock bearings with some upgrade bearings for my helis. I remember awhile back someone, "Lee,Derek,Tony" mention a company but I never made a note of the it . I appreciate if some can point me in the direction to purchase, better then stock, bearings. Thanks in advance.

i've been thinking about converting my bearings to the sealed type, but they are pretty pricy!

Not as pricey as paying for shipping and taxes every time I place an order for bearing. I just don't have good luck with bearings.

Boca has a good reputation. They make bearings for fishing poles to the rc community. These guys got figured out.

Actually try rc bearings first. All you need is the bearing size and you can search it. I just searched some X3 bearings and I got some hits.

I will try rc bearings first. The X3 and my 500 "especially" need decent bearings. The 450....Well, i have plenty of bearings for her.

Yeah I am having to replace some mains in my 500, One of the two upper or lower, I noticed it felt a little grindy when I turned the rotor head, hopefully I'll be able to get em out of the blocks without tearing the hell outta it!
