Arrma RC's
  1. Nero
I noticed I some grinding + seized wheel bearings, so I took the opportunity to start replacing all externally facing bearings with sealed versions. Another member mention AvidRC for bearings, which has most at $1.00 ea, so I jumped all over it.

I have to give a shout out to http://avidrc.com/, I did not expect such a good experience or product. I even like their kick-ass packaging. The baggies will be great for storing other parts and extras.

I'll end saying this is already a fun project.
 
Another shout out to Arrma engineers too! The Nero is a dream to work on. I can tell everything was planned and designed to be easily worked on. The diffs pop out in minutes.

Did I mention this was a fun project?
 
@PeaCue, I haven't tried AvidRC bearings myself (more of a TeamFastEddy bearings guy myself) but have heard good things about them from several people. I'm sure they are going to last you a good long while!

Hey
I'm also looking for some bearing kit.
I've googled and two named popup- avid and fasteddy and both co. Don't make bearing kits for arrma Nero.
Unless you found a co. That does let me know.
Cheers

I guess I'll see if the fasteddy bearings for kraton match the size for the nero.

Cheers

Hey FastEddy when will you have the nero kits back in stock?
 
Should be in on Monday.
Sorry for the delay but our factory needed to special make the size we didn't stock.
Our tracking says they should be here on Friday. I will make a post on Monday when they're available

Placed a request from the site and now I have a TT Bushmaster Bearing Kit put together and ordered a few days later. Very responsive and excellent customer service so far. He even threw me a coupon code. I'm happy.
