xt wheel bearings

[454chad]

hello i just inspected my xt after two tanks of running it easy to break it in and noticed the wheel bearing are already toasted so i ordered the 7075rc hubs and bearings will these hold up longer than two tanks lol thank you

 

[Deluge]

Yes, they will. They use bigger bearings.

 

[erdoganog]

How do you tell they are toasted? by sound or visual or by movement?

How do you tell they are toasted? by sound or visual or by movement?

you can tell by looking at them and your wheels will seem loose when you wiggle them

Bad Bearings

I also had to replace bearings... I used my hard earned money on a hobby that I love only to be disappointed... Three tankfuls of break-in time, bad bearings and the drivetrain locking up was what I was rewarded with on the second day of ownership...

I have many other RC cars and this has never happened to me.. DAY TWO BEARINGS FAILURE... I think they would have a big following if they would improve the parts that fail just by reading the posts on sites like these.. I should of done more research but I made a mistake.. My next 1/5 will not be a Redcat... My oldest RC is a 26 year old Tamiya that has only needed batteries and a servo...

Bummer. Good luck on your next purchase.

I just received me set and I thought they were suppose to hold larger bearings, I tried fitting some bearings off my Baja wheels since my Baja is taken apart right now or are they not they same size?

 

[Deluge]

These are the bearings for the 7075RC parts.

22mm x 6mm Ball Bearings

 

[xxSwagxx]

So they don't house a bigger bearing?

 

[Deluge]

They do. The stock bearings are 19mm x 5mm.

 

[Guest]

That is a larger bearing, the factory size is 19x10x5mm.

Sorry for the repeat awnser. I didn't see the next page. LOL

 

[xxSwagxx]

Ok so the size is a 10 x 22 x 6 of the 7075 bearing holder?

 

[Deluge]

That is correct.

 

[xxSwagxx]

sorry guys have another question are there only 3 different sizes in bearing for the XSC?

so far i found

22x10x7

16x7x5

19x10x5 which i will replace with the bigger 10x22x6

is this really all the bearings it has?

 

[Deluge]

I just skimmed the manual and it's looks like that's all it uses. The 16x7x5 should be 16x8x5, though.

 

[xxSwagxx]

great thank you

 

[DemonRC]

So where are the 16x8x5's at? Sorry it's Friday and my brain quits on me sometime around lunch on Thursday.

 

[Deluge]

Lol. I know the feeling. It looks like they're used in the gear plate.

well someone correct me if im wrong but the stock bearing is 10x19x5 and the 7075rc is 10x22x6 (inner diameter x outer diameter x thickness) so if my understanding is correct it is a bigger bearing then stock
