Hit the dirt (again), bent the brushless motor drive shaft and lost one of the motor bearings. Presumably it got mashed up and fell out.
My guru says it's worth fitting a new bearing - but I can't find the correct size on the internet.
Please does anyone know where in the UK I can get a bearing, 8x8x4 mm ?

I recently received an order from these guys, I can't recommend them highly enough. www.rc-bearings.com/catalog/I certainly can't tell the difference between their bearings, and the ones I paid 5 X the price for locally |

Just realised based on the measurements being inside dia, Outside Dia and height, yours cant be 8x8x4.....So maybe those ones in the link I posted are correct?

Sorry for delay in replying to your helpful posts but have had a busy day. Thanks for yours, Dylan, but Oz is a long way away! ;D John, it's not for the one I bought from you but for another which I was given - an Overlander Thumper. My clever guru wrote down those measurements for me and I, not being very bright, have been searching for 8 x 8 x 4. But now I have consulted him again, it turns out that I was misreading his scrawl . . . mistook his 3 for 8  What I need is actually 4 (inner hole) x 8 (diameter) x 3 (height). Just found this on fleabay for £2.25 incl. p&p and hoping it's suitable?? Unless, that is, you have one. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-8-x-3-MS-Bearing-/310252156400?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item483c7835f0Sorry about the wrong information earlier, guys. What a dumb-dumb! |
