have anyone used the ceramic bearing and if so, how or they. i' was told by boca bearings that they will last longer than the regular bearing. help me please.
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! Is that clear enough??jeff baham said:have anyone used the ceramic bearing and if so, how or they. i' was told by boca bearings that they will last longer than the regular bearing. help me please.

What application are you planning on using them for?jeff baham said:have anyone used the ceramic bearing and if so, how or they. i' was told by boca bearings that they will last longer than the regular bearing. help me please.

The bearings are not the only part of the engine that requires lubrication and most probably not the first thing to fail as you reduce oil content in your fuel. I would think the most critical areas (especially in a K& B) is going to be the big end of your rod and (correct me if I am wrong) the actual piston/liner. I really cant see running ceramic bearings alone allowing you to run less oil in the fuel.krpnova said:I will swear by them and plan to put them in more of my engines and reduce the amount of oil I run.

There is a difference between being on the leading edge and the BLEEDING EDGE of technology!!! Right now it appears that ceramics have little exposure to RC Boating and lets face facts - most facts and fugures are "Bikini numbers". (What they show you is very appealing, but its what they hide that counts!!!)krpnova said:They are new technology and some of you older boaters are afraid of change.

Can you tell me exactly where your Ceramic bearings are giving you an advantage over say WIB Bearings, why your ceramics are working (say better than the other ceramic bearings described in this thread), what you have to do to maintain them and which applications they will and wont work in (maybe even which motors they will or wont work in)????izitbrokeyet? said:From what I read....all the guys that were using them (present company included) are having good results with them. I'll continue using them in some of my motors....but I get my ceramics from a very trustworthy source. I admit that I wont spend $100+/set (dealer cost) to put them in a mono or a tunnel boat because I don’t personally see a benefit......most of the motors that have ceramics installed are $600 + motors and are the best motors made.
Should qualify the above by saying that the ceramics don’t make them the best motors, but help them to perform in the range for which they are intended. I guarantee that they guys that are running +$600 motors aren’t the same guys that can’t tell if they’re overheating their motors, or if their motors are being run without enough lubrication.
