FastEddy Bearings HPI Savage XS Sealed Bearing Kit Now available

http://www.fasteddybearings.com/hpi-savage-xs-flux-sealed-bearing-kit/

I have bought a set of these, will post how they go on this thread. Will be comparing them to unsealed bearings and sealed bearings from my local hobby shop that are aud$2.40 each

@robbiexps look forward to your review. I've used @FastEddy bearings in nearly everyone of my RC's with great performance and durability.

Just got my bearings in the mail. Shipped to Western Australia, for a good price. The price of the kit it's self is excellent! I was quoted $4 Aussie dollars each for 11x5s from a bearing shop.
First impressions of the kit : bearings look very very nice and roll sweet. They come in a great resealable bag, although my bag in particular split down the side. The split was caused by the tube that the 11x5s were in. If u want to use the bag then take the bearings out if the tube straight away.
I'll be putting the gearbox bearings in first.
Here is a few pics of the kit and where my bag split. I'll reply to this post to let everyone know how they go. Thanks @FastEddy

Good thing @FastEddy 's bearings work better than his plastic bags.

Haha Yea! (constructive criticism)
I don't doubt I'll buy many more bearings from here, so happy with them.

Newb question, but what all bearings will this replace?

joegibbstruck- I believe it's a full set??? I need a set of these. I seem to replace a lot of bearings on this truck.

Its a full set and will replace all the factory bearings that are included on the truck

Well i just order a few sets.

So, Do the bearings make this run smoother or faster or ...?? Might have to get me some.

Less friction for whatever location they are in. Also a quality bearing will last far longer.

X, will it make it turn any easier? I notices the other day when I broke an turnbuckle that these don't turn well going even somewhat fast.
Thanks

I realized the other day that this was for a XS, and that me talking about steering bearings was for the standard size savage. So I deleted that part. The XS will see no benefit for steering. Your best bet is to pick up a servo that has more torque and is quicker.

Will be ordering a set as soon as I can round up enough cash. got laid off, and am having savage xs withdrawls! lol. Hopefully it will be soon though.
Take care all.

Also, are the stock bearings that come with the savage xs, are the sealed or unsealed? All i know is I got about 5 charges on a 2s LiPo before the diff bearing went out. That seems a little to soon right?
Thanks

Yes the stock bearings are sealed.
