Ceramic wars: boca vs acer

[luihed]

I buy all my bearings from Boca ( not ceramic) and Ive had no prob with them...... as for Acer, I bought a set of ceramic bearings for my Xray FK for $99 which was a good deal but it wasnt complete.... it was missing a couple of "key" bearings so I ended ups selling them and got a set from APS .........

One thing I didntlike about the acer bearings was taht they were rubber sealed, its great that its low maintenance but dirt will eventually get in there and then theyre useless..... the APS uses metal seals which is more maintenance but you can open it to clean........

Are ceramic bearings worth the $$$$$, id have to say no.... I didnt improve my times at the track ( not even .1 sec )........ I also have a Tamiya 415MS and im sticking to regular bearings...... my .02
