Awesome video. Look out, Team Fast Eddie, rob64n is in the house.

Very thorough. You made it look easy. Anyone should be able to follow that for a full dif rebuild. A+

Thanks guys, I had a little over 42 minutes of video clips. So tryin to shorten that up took alot of patience, but didn't turn out too bad. I wanted a little more effects in there but windows 7 movie maker wouldn't let me do some things. I'll have more to come as I get more bearings. I think when I get to the wheel bearings I'm going to have them put a dry lube instead of grease in them....

Yikes those are $16 per bearing.

How long do the stock bearings typically last ?

stock ones don't do too bad, the price you're looking at, make sure it's not the C3. these are around $11 I believe, but I'll have to check to see if they have quantity breaks.

I run my xbe only on-road so I'm hoping the stock bearings will hold up. We'll see I guess
I've heard people say that the 1/8 scale brushless cars are having bearing failure due to heat from the high rpm, so these bearings will help I'm sure. Since 1/5 scales are three times the weight and much more rotating mass.
