Hi All,
I'm getting some bearings for my short-arm 6-gear RC10, and I was looking at Boca Green Seal bearings. What is the difference between these three bearing sets?

I have checked multiple times, and they all look identical. What's going on?

buy your bearings at www.avidrc.com and save yourself $10 or more.

i got a set of ultra seals in one of my dead pool cars. they are far superior to the standard bearing. they spin longer, maitenance free, and lubed for life. before you spend money on bearings, ask yourself what you're going to do with the car.

Jason's right. Always gotten my bearings from Avid. Cant go wrong here.

I do mainly offroad driving, which is why I was looking at green seals. LittleVETTE, do you mean a replica of the car used in the Dead Pool car chase? That's cool!

it's my blue one. it's been modified for hotter runs. that's the reason why i put the ultra seals in the car. the others i've built had standard 1 dollar bearings. no reason to buy the fast bearings when the cars are going to be sitting pretty.

I won't buy from boca, had a bad experience with them on fleabay. I agree, I've used avidrc and their price and quality are good.

Avid all the way!

@flipwils11, what happened? Was the product bad, or was it an issue with the seller?

The more a bearing is sealed the slower it will be right? If you want a fast bearing you get metal or (not recommended) no seal ones. I like Avid because their Revolution bearings are the best of both worlds. Rubber sealed on one side and metal on the other. They're great for places where only one side of the bearing will be exposed to the elements like in a gearbox.

I had a question after I purchased, but before I paid. Sent them 3 messages, zero response. I never paid and they never gave me an unpaid item strike. It's like no one is manning their ecommerce controls or office.

How do the metal shielded bearings do in dirty conditions? Most of the sizes don't seem to be avaliable as Revolutions, and I run on a very dusty backyard track.
