where to get bearings for my NUE? - RC-Monster Forums

rootar · **where to get bearings for my NUE? -** 10.31.2008, 08:18 PM

i need some bearing for my 1515, its the latest version that uses the larger teckno style bearings in it. I talked to one of the repiar guys at nue and i kept trying to buy the bearings from them and all i could get was "you need to send the motor in if the bearings are going out" Well thats not much help i dont wanna be 3-4 weeks with no buggy, trying to enjoy the very nice weekends for the next month and a half until it gets too cold. They wouldnt sell me the bearing because he kept trying to tell me i needed a special tool to get rid of the bearing slop...........its just the bearing there is no play where it might need different spacers on the shaft or a new endbell or anything like that, just needs a new bearing, they were trying to make it into a big deal, while we replace the bearings in our 1/10 motors atleast a couple times a season, its very dirty, lots of fine sand, and bearings just dont last, so im trying not to send it in unless i absolutely have too. So could someone please help me find very good set of replacement bearings for it, so i can change them myself and keep on playing. Im looking for the highest rated bearing i can find in its size, atleast abec5 but rather have 7s

Boca bearings, Avid, TKO are just some of the places you can buy them.

So the 1515 and 1512 have the same size bearings?

I'll take Avid over Acer. TKO is nice but more expensive. I have their ceramic cb bearings in my TZ.

rootar · 10.31.2008, 10:23 PM

so your youd choose TKO, avid, then acer in that order?

why do the TKO's look funny?

Boca make a bearing called Orange Seals or something which is Abec 7, not sure if they make it in that size though.
Has anyone replaced bearings in the Neu's before? Do you actually have to send it to Neu?

DRIFT_BUGGY · 10.31.2008, 10:33 PM

Just searched for them
http://www.bocabearings.com/main1.aspx?p=docs&id=35
but they don't come in that size

there was a thread not but a day ago or so about the inside of a neu and a guy said he changed his, i dont see how replacing them would be any different than any other motor.

i ordered a couple pairs of teh TKO bearings i posted the picture of, ive been saerching all over the net and have seen nothing but great, great, and better than great reviews of the TKO bearings so ill give these ago and ill post a couple pics about changing them when they get here.

thanks for the help.

Let us know who they go
Anyone know if the 1512 bearings are the same size?

rootar · 11.01.2008, 07:51 AM

Are the bearings in Neu 1515 not flange bearing? I am pertty sure mine were.But i might be wrong.
