I would like to fit some quality bearings to my DEX410/R. The kit ones look and feel low quality and are not sealed. I usually run Answer bearings in my X6/B44 but I can't see Durango kit offerings on their site.
Any suggestions?

Acer do a ceramic kit but fairly expensive. There is also Yeah Racing Teflon Sealed ones on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/Yeah-Racing-Blue-Telfon-Bearing-Durango-DEX410-/380260635564?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item58894cd3ac but i know a few people just buy single bearings from Avid.

OK thanks Graham, I must have missed that. I'll look again.
AND thanks for all the other replies, I'll look into those as well.

We do list a Durango one but the site needs a revamp!
To be fair most of the issue with Duarango bearings is 5*10mm which we do a tube of 10pcs for £6. These are the 1 Rubber seal and 1 Metal sheild to give you a mix of dirt protection and low resistance (run the rubber seal to the outer)
ANSBR0510 is the part # for the tube of 10pcs
ANSBRDEX1 is the part # for the complete set, ironically despite us being Brits and the kits being assembled over here Google only shows our export customers listing it.

Thanks Pete. No matter what I do I can't find any reference to ANSBRDEX1 on your website. Also the ANSBR0510 is shown as a 1/8th bearing so could easilly be missed by us 1/10th drivers. I really love your bearings - please help me to buy from you.

We've just got the new Lazy Bearings in stock, great quality rubber sealed if you want less resistance on the inside, just flick a seal off.
They're not on our site yet, but are in packs of ten for £7.
PM me or contact me via http://rcLazy.com/contact

Just received my bearings from RC Bearings , beautifully wrapped and individually sealed .
Absolutely spot on an 12 pounds.

It seems there are plenty of us at the bearings game these days!
ANSBR0510 is availble from Mk Racing, Apex Models and Bolton Model Mart amongst many others.

OK thanks all I'll go with the Answer Bearings from Bolton Model Mart - the place I usually get them from.

Which is the better seal for offroad - Teflon or Rubber?
