Is there a such thing as a bearing motor upgrade

 

[Krathead]

I don't know why they wouldn't warranty that. It certainly looks defective

Stainless hybrid ceramic is about the best option. I put some in my BLX185.

Do you have a link to these? And do you remember what size the BLX 2050kv took?

They should replace but might want some pictures [which you already have]...

Horizon Hobby replaced two motors in the first month or so of buying my Granite Mega. The first replacement was for the original motor which developed a side to side movement of the motor shaft. They also replaced the spur gear which got chewed up because of the motor shaft problem.

I understand being upset, I know I was, but try to keep it cordial and factual and you should do just fine.

Anything with a rubber seal will outlast the stock bearings.

What is the he best bearings to use? Should these be changed in factory motors and aftermarket?

From things I have heard and some personal experience stainless hybrid ceramic is your best bet. However I do not know what size the bearings are for the BLX100 motor. You don't have to change them out right away wait until the stock ones start to show signs of wear.

I was to the point of trying some ceramic bearings in my low budget motors, but I couldn't justify, just yet, putting one bearing in that cost roughly 1/3 the price of the whole motor. Putting in a second ceramic bearing, and I would have about $24 worth of bearings in a $20~$35 motor . I opted for some ABEC-5 chrome steel bearings solely on price. I couldn't be happier.

Brushless motors still need maintenance. I run in some very dusty conditions and I have a 20 run maintenance schedule that I try to stick to. I used to do bearing clean/relube every 30 days, and shocks every 15. I still had a blown bearings every once in awhile so I combined my clean/rebuild/relube schedule.

Bearings are the lifeline of your RC...show them some love

I think that most problems would be because of bearing tolerances. And if good bearings cost then the cost of better motors would be part of that cost. I am going to purchase a aftermarket motor and replacing g the bearings would be a good thing for life and durability

You replace both bearings at the same time. Not just one. Or you will surely brick the arm.
