Big Rock Recommended Motor Ball Bearings

[Mirovingian]

Heya quarantine-oids.

Would the vets please let me know if those Protek ceramic / sealed bearings are recommended / reliable enough for installation within the blx100 motor?

Much obliged:

The ceramic hybrid is your best bet. You want to find out the abec rating. 5 or above is what you want. Look into boca bearings

If you have a newer blx motor in a 3s rig, the front bearing is 5x16x5, and the rear is 5x13x4. Thats what they are in my Senton BLX 3s.

I think you are mistaken by the senton 6s motor

Time to break the digital caliper out and make sure.

Very major pointer there. Thanks bud.

It says here mine is the 2019 model, so I'm assuming it's one of the new ones.

Thanks dude.

Jimsbearings unfortunately is out of the ceramic motor bearings, or so the site says.

I'll keep lookin around.

 

[Surchaufeur]

The 4s motor has 2 5x13x4 makes no sense for the 3s bearing to be bigger
Teh 6s motor bearings

 

[Mirovingian]

Yeah seems standard. 5x13x4.

Lol, Corona bearings. Last thing I need. My Big Rock's motor is coughing as it is.

The front brg in my Senton BLX 3s with the stock arrma motor is 5x16x5. I measured it with a digital caliper. The newer motors apparently have a larger front bearing so it would last longer. It didn't work

So much for lasting longer.

Just measured the bearings. Both are 5x13x4mm from the looks of it.

I'll add some when I get home. Still working. Apparently I'm essential.

[Mirovingian]

Yeah, it is.

An anomaly at Oldguy' end?
