Revolution Design Racing Products Ultra Bearings

New from RDRP is a line of high-quality ball bearings as a replacement for worn-out ball races or as instant upgrade when building a new kit. Their special construction with a protective rubber seal on the “outer” side and a low-friction steel shield on the “inner” side maximise the protection against the elements while optimising the drivetrain’s efficiency compared to all-rubber shielded ball races. This makes them especially useful in demanding applications such as electric and nitro off-road racing. A low-drag lubricant further adds to the ultra smooth operation with the bearings being available as complete car sets for many Team Associated, Team C, Team Durango, Kyosho, Mugen, Schumacher, TLR, and Yokomo kits as well as individually in 4-piece sets.
