bearing carriers?

[shovelhead]

well as I continue to collect my parts for the future drag build, I need to know about carriers? are all of the brand about the same? I am looking at JJ&A , but I also found a geat deal on Modquad..any advise or comments on brand to look at or to stay away from? thanks

jj and a and mod quad both build a really nice carrier. Just make sure you get one for a stock axle diameter if you are running a stock axle. the drag axles are bigger so the bearings in the carrier are bigger

my buddy just put a drag axle in his stock carrier... he said they changed the bearing out and used ceramic ones. ive never heard of that before

[dajogejr]

I've heard of ceramic for cranks, etc. Not for the axle, though...

If it were me, and he's running a drag axle...swap out that junk stock style and replace it with a roundhouse...

thats what i tryed telling him... but are local shop guy .. hooked him up. whatever. local guy is also making him run 34 pjs..... he's putting them on all the 4 mil cubs he builds. thats why jeff is helping me set mine up. :biggrin:

[dajogejr]

34PJs can be made to run well on smaller motors. I wouldn't put them on a cub..but stock stroke/bore motors, I would.

 

Dan Hull swears by them....(A&S)

JJ&A is the best. :thumbsup:

I'm not sure how great of an idea that is............. Ceramic roller bearings tend to be very fragile and don't have anywhere near the lifespan of a traditional bearing. :geek:

thats good to know.. since he's running 112 on asphalt... are local builder is the smartest, damn i hope he doesnt hurt him self. good looking out firehead. ill tell him, but im sure it wont make a diff
