YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Santa,........

[GT Freak]

again i ask..

[cooleocool]

RPM's are still cheaper, therefore a better deal IMO. While they do look nice, I just assume use plastic...

[SS Pede]

Very nice!! I would consider getting a set of these for some bling if I didn't already have the RPM ones. I'm sure other Traxxas owners will like them. Nice job Traxxas.

[R/C Kid]

Yeha way overpriced considering the guarantee RPM has all your getting is the "bling" factor.

[bashin Maxxer15]

I want those, in blue!!! I would get RPM's but they only come in black....

[rccardude04]

RPM Carriers = $8.99
5x11 Bearings = 5.99 x 2 = 11.98
RPM Carriers + 4 5x11 Bearings = $20.97
These show as $33.25 on www.horizonhobby.com. How is this way overpriced?

They're probably not too badly priced. You can get some nice hybrid bearings for $1 from Avid though, so plastic is much more economical...

[rccardude04]

I bet the traxxas rubber sealed bearings are higher quality though ;)
You're right though you can get bearings for cheaper but if it's only 12 bucks difference or so, it'd definately be cool to have the aluminum.
I still don't know why it took them so long to put this on the market.

I don't know... Avid makes some good bearings! I run Team Blue Star bearings personally...
