They're okay, but there are plenty of other options as well. Avid, Jim's Bearings, TRB Rc just to name a few. I've also learned that buying individual sizes in bulk can save money. I just search out specific sizes on Amazon and buy them that way. If you don't maintain your bearings, it doesn't matter how much you spend on the set. They get filled with dust and dirt eventually, and need to be cleaned and relubed. For the price I pay buying them in bulk, they become throw aways after one or two maintenance intervals.Looking to upgrade bearings on my senton 3s blx v3. Anyone have any suggestions? Any input would be helpful in my quest to find the right kit.
Sweet! Thanks for the feedback.I might have to try them on the rc. I Didn’t know they made bearings for bikes. I’m an avid cyclist myself. Cheers!Not tried fast Eddie for rc, I used to use them all the time on mountain bike, usually very good quality.

There is one bearing that comes in the kits that is a little harder to come by. There is a flanged bearing that goes in the slipper assembly of the 3s/4s line. What I'm trying to say is that I did originally buy two Fast Eddy kits for my 3s trucks so I could get the full set and that one bearing. After the initial purchase, I just stock up on the most common sizes in bulk.I'm sure all these guys (Fast Eddy, Jim's etc.) are fine. They are all buying bearings to a spec (ABEC) in large quantities and then providing a value added service of putting together kits for your specific vehicle.
Like @Notorious J , I buy individual bearings but sometimes the kits make life easier - for example, I think my Reflex 14B calls for 11 of one type of bearing. Since Amazon sellers are usually selling in packs of 10, you'd have to buy 20 in order to have enough. Buy a kit from Jim's or FE and you're all set.
Giving them a go. Just ordered a couple of sets and about 50 loose bearings. Finally, no exchange and free shipping. Now if only other aftermarket companies started finding distributors in Canada, we could build to our hearts content.There's now a Canadian option also: www.kc-rc.com . He has lots of different bearing kits for Arrmas and other brands. Significantly cheaper than Fast Eddy for us Canadian. I bought a few sets. They seem really nice, but I haven't tried them yet.
