First bearing

[MichaelCain414]

So I ordered some Fast Eddy's for my first bearing upgrade/change/cleaning. Any recommendations on grease?

Nothing yet. Put them in out of the bag.

They should be prefect from fast eddy’s but maybe after 20-30 packs rebuild them any bearing grease on eBay works it’s mostly the same stuff

Don’t re-grease the new bearings. Eddy’s supplier already did a better job than you can.

When it’s time to work on them, here’s a grease you can try.

I use this on on my diff gears also. Impervious to salt water and road salt, sticky and lightweight.

Not a fan of grease on my rc bearings as it actually slows them down and even more so when cold. The Super Lube was a nice choice but they have another product that's much better for bearings. This is actually recommended for ceramics but all the same characteristics apply to steel bearings too. Only drawback is you need to apply it more frequently.

But yeah, leave the Eddys alone for a bit. He already took care of them for you.

Super new to the hobby, but what I've heard is lube is more for racing while grease is for bashing (I'm straight bashing).

Thanks a bunch, I'll jump on this after a few handfuls of packs!

I love hearing that. I haven't even taken her much apart yet, so youtube videos and patience is in my near future.

I use new bearings as is...but when I am done. I hit all the moving parts: pivot balls, hinges, suspension, stuff with up/down motion or pivots like the CVDs with Cow's silicone spray. Yep, some do get on the bearings, but it is not my intent.

When I am done I hit the plastic with SC1 for a nice shine
