Anyone try ceramic bearings?

The races are still steel, so they will still rust. The balls are pretty brittle, not sure if crash damage would fracture them or not.

I hung out with the high RPM dudes for a while, none of the racing engines come with ceramic bearings AFAIK. If there was any advantage at all, them guys would have 'em.

That's the yardstick I use to measure their worth..if cut-throat racers don't use 'em, they can't be much better...if any at all.

Just get 2 sets of good steel bearings with phenolic retainers.

I think MB 40 uses ceramic bearings. They are strong from what I've seen. I don't have any experiences with them, a flying buddy flies f3d.

You might be right, Laurens. I'm not familiar with the MB.
