cheers guys ,,but he has nothing list for the 91 c-spec.

[Steve]

Accurately measure the ones you've got and give him a call. They're probably the same ones that go in several other OS engines like the OS 70 SZH etc (just guessing there).

[Gaza07]

Yup if you give him the measurements he will have some to fit or get you some ASAp

Also just find a local bearing place, i changed mine last year and i bought both front and read bearings for my 50 hyper and it set me back £22 plus £3 p&p, now this year i popped to a local bearing shop with my old bearings and next day they had them for me at £7 for both, now thats cheap.


So check your local bearing shop out mate they will get them for ya and i bet almost half the price you would be paying

Just checked Ripmax's website.

Every OS 91 heli engine they list (and there are 3 of them) has exactly the same set of bearings, and the same bearings are also in the OS 70 and the OS 61 heli engines. The front bearing is even the same one that's in the Hyper 50, but the rear one isn't the same.

So, you can order the ones for the 61 SX-H, and at the same time let him know that they also fit the 91 whixh he has listed as 'requiring data'.



Sorry, need to add - I'm on about modelfixings.

all i need is the number on the front case dude and ill get u any bearing u want half price at least,
the bearings for my rappy tail was £9.99 for the pair .i got mine from a m8 who imports bearings for a living for £3 for a few ov them.
so with that said tell me if it has 60013 on it for example.
same goes for any other ppl near me (hayling island)i can get them same day u ask .your just have to meet up with me around hayling.
all ill ask is that the part number u give me is the part u get ,so if numbers wrong u will still have to buy that bearing.not being funny but i dont want a big list ov i think it,ll fit bearing's.
so if u dont know the bearing and mic it thats wat u get.
also u can choose any abec ratting u like on them and graphite ,if like me u buy boat bearings and car bearings.

Just a question on bearings, the rear on the hyper types have a plastic/ptfe ball spacer ring, local bearing shops have metal, I have just used a bearing with the metal ring, can anyone say what good and bad or why?

when thay get here...as the post is very slow @ mo




reason for this is ,i rekon,,,is if the bearing gets damaged...it only plastic that go though ya engine rather than mental ,

ptfe against stainlees has less friction.
when i was building gumwharf we put stainlees load plates against ptfe load plates .so i asked the guy that came up with the idear and he said u can load silly amounts on ptfe and stanless plates (tons)and u can still move it by hand .if that was metal it would not have moved.
im guessing same thing ablies to your bearing just friction

[abyiss]
