I have heard of racers say that not cleaning bearings is better than cleaning, because you might damage the balls.

I usually clean the bearings and they seem to work fine.

I run Kyosho bearings and they are expensive to replace them after every race.

That's pretty good!!! I have tried the x ray, pro tek, bocca, and kyosho bearings. The Kyosho bearings have lasted me the most than any of the bearings I have tried. I will try out the TKO bearings.

yea I've been pretty impressed with them. now its always a good idea to check your bearings and not just expect them to run half a season but every time I've checked them they seem to be fine, and i haven't had a single bearing from tko either seize or explode haha

I usually check the wheel bearings after every race and I replace the clutch bearings every sixth race including.
