How often do you guys replace your bearings on these chassis.
I probably have a gallon since they were replaced.
Not sue that Boca is the best these ones I had in my truck surely didn't have the life span one would think they should .

I rarely change my bearings tbh. I keep extra layshaft and clutchbell bearings mainly around (I buy 10 packs for cheap abec 5's). after I clean my rc, I spray all the bearings with brake cleaner to clean and get water out, then liberally coat them with liquid wrench. been using that stuff for oh 20 yrs now... even in nitros, guys would kill clutchbell bearings and I could run a set for 2 yrs. amazing stuff and in a can like wd40 but 100X vetter lubricant. it's made by gunk, so reputable auto stuff. try a can out... at worst you'll find it better for anything you use wd40 on now and it prevents rust (which is the number one or two killer for bearings)

sounds good never thought of L-wrench being better than wd40 but what the hell I'll give it a go.
you say abec5 the ones I have are supposed to be abec1 whats the difference would be the question?
I guess I need to do some reading

There is no GRADE lower than ABEC 1. do a google on abec ratings and you'll see. it goes up to 9 and then there are iso ratings as well added to make things more confusing
wd40 is fish oil. good for cleaning or spraying the inside of a wet distributor cap when I get water in after pressure washing. abou all it's good for. they used to use propane as the carrier for many years, then it was awesome for getting gum out of carpets... still works but not as good now
