acer bearings

[carnage79]

i need some help ordering these bearings. i need 5x10x4. i am putting a new clutch on my new engine and i'm replacing the bearings. the 5x10 options acer has is for clutch use or non clutch use. stupid question, but i guess i would pick clutch use, right? anyone use these and what do you think of them?

I've never heard of such a thing but I'd be skeptical about spending more than 10$ for 2 bearing.

These are the ones he is talking about, they are ceramic, actually they are cheap priced for ceramic bearings. I would use the clutch type for the clutch, I imagine they are high speed bearings.

when I change my clutch I am going to try them. If they hold up I will try the set for savage's they have for $89 bucks.

they're on sale $16 for 2 ceramic clutch bearings- they say "we have the hardest balls in the industry". $89.99 for a full set.

I have installed the complete Acer kit bearings as well as the cb bearings and add the trans bearings. Might be an over kill but I like them. Spin one in your hand then spin an HPI bearing in your hand , you can tell the difference. Yes for $89 bucks plus the other bearings still more than half the cost of Bocas. I did this for a rebuild but haven't had the time to break the truck in yet. I went with Acer after a friend who Bashes a lot has had a very good experience with them. Like anything from time to time you should pull them all clean them they are a small investment. Acer has cleaning stuff for them as well.
