Where do you buy your Bearings from ?

Hi all - I want to replace all the bearings on my Raptor 50 and was wondering where you buy yours from ?

Thanks

Hi Dave I get mine from here RCbearings Limited and here Welcome to Modelfixings both good service.

I normally use antifriction in Cwmbran for all my engine bearings, I would have thought they have the correct ones you need for the airframe

Rcbearings, great prices and excellent bearings, usually next day delivery as well.

RC Bearings or Simply Bearings, both excellent service and prices

Anywhere but the engine manufacturer as they are so over priced it's embarrassing.

Bigbladelittleblade, WaveyDavey and Hedge.
Thankyou very much for your recommendations and cheers for the heads up on engine manufacturer and their prices Hedge.

+1 on RCbearings. All the bearings you can think of and priced sensibly.

Thanks Rotorwheels when I get a chance I do a list of all the bearings I need to change while she's in bits.

Hi
Have you tried http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/
I will post the links for os 50 - 55 and os 60-90 bearings later (I have them saved on my home pc) the bearings are between 4 and 6 each from memory and better quality skf bearings than the os supplied versions although you have to remove the shield on 1 side on the small bearing but it pops out with a small screwdriver.

I may be able to help you with some, if not most of them, as i still have a box full of bearings left. from my raptor days! i used to buy them in tubes of ten from iko when i had my own company, and i ve noticed that when ive needed bearings for my current fleet most of these are unsuitable sizes!
Make a list of sizes or codes! and let me know m8.
