Medusa Bearing Replacements - 01.30.2010, 10:57 PM

I've got some really good service from my 36-70-2000kv.

Recently being ran in an E Revo geared 14/52 on 6S. Incredible Power!

It was pulled out to try another setup, when I noticed it didn't feel right while spinning it by hand.

After running it at low rpm, it's clear that it has a bad bearing.

The bearings are 5x13x4mm in size.

How well would these work as replacements?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You could always send it to Neu for replacement bearings. In answer to your question. I personally believe that better bearings make a difference. I replaced a set of diff bearings w/cheap ones and they did not last.


1. MBX-5T CC/NEU 1520, MMM ON 5S
2. MBX-5 2200 ccneu MMM esc on 5s (converted to onroad )
3. CRT.5 w/mm esc 3300kv Medusa on 2s
