abec 5 is as good as youll need the tolerance allowance from an abec5 to abec7 is not really needed for use in a hostile enviorenment like our rc cars.... i ran the number the other day on the bearings neu uses and they are only abec3, IMO abec 7s require too much up keep to keep free, great example is my skateboard bearings, have a set of blackpanther abec5s and never cleaned or touched them in 3 years, still roll FOREVER, now my bones abec 7s ceramics in my hosoi bowl board, they are nice, but they require constant cleaning and upkeep and sound horrible after riding anywhere dirty, waste of money imo i could have had two sets of the panthers for the price of the bones.....

if your willing to pay id get that teflon sealed bearing over any of the others from boca, but im not crazy enough to spend $30 on two bearings just yet, besides i have 10 bearings sitting right here so im good for a few years.
