Using a vice with a socket(the matches size of outer race) is the easiest way to seat bearings. I use a towel or rubber vice pads depending on application to protect parts
Oh man I needed this video bad. Our Notorious 8s, & sure as what. Rear & front. Got them ordered now... I parked in couldn't figure out the noise & it was motor baerings.
I did try the grease method, and no luck. The grease just pushed back through the inner race. I did see a video of someone that used bread. I thought it was just maybe a joke, but after using grease and not working, I tried using bread. Unbelievably it worked. Thank you for your content. Your videos persuaded me to get into crawling and it’s a blast!
Instead of grease to push the rear bearing out, try little rolled up balls of bread. Stick one in the bearing hole and use the motor armature to push it down. Worked like a charm for me and didn't squish past the seals.
I used that method to remove the pilot bearing (clutch replacement) on my 02 camaro. The bearing removal tool wouldn't cut it but 6 slices of bread did the trick!
I'm not sure if those bearings you used were or not but it's important to make sure you use bearings that are specifically designed for the speeds that motors rotate at. Standard bearings are not rated for those kinds of speeds and they also have grease in them that is too thick for really high speeds. You might be able to get away with it but the bearing won't last nearly as long as a proper high speed motor bearing.
Yeah. Most greases when they get hot they thin out so they flow. But with that said these don’t come with much at all. For me it’s a maintenance thing.
Hey the “hydraulic thing” you can also do with cheap toast bread, yea bread the same one you eat. Slowly keep hammering small crumbles of it and bearing will come right out. Sounds silly but I swapped it multiple times that way with different blind hole motors
This is the motor I recently put in my Kraton EXB and I have one for the Outcast EXB roller also. It’s an absolute beast with this can!! Great air control. Works pretty good with the Spektrum 160 amp esc but the esc definitely heats up more. I have the Max 5 and hopefully that solves the esc overheating issues 🤔🤔🤔
Running too tight pinion mesh kills motor bearings so fast. So does the xmaxx belt drive kit. I've seen two buddies go through motor bearings and motors so fast with that belt drive kit because there is so much tension on the motor shaft. I get nice abec7 7 bearings in my motors they last so long!
Yeah I’ve not once been impressed with the belt drives. These teeth are so big that they just beat the heck out of everything. Hopefully the new Vitavon mount in the DBXLE will stop the flex and keep them right.
to get the bearing out heat up the outside. or entire plate. Try to keep bearing it self cool or cooler and it should get out easily , make sure u have the new one ready to put in . When outside gets cold it is harder to get the new one in. And use a peace of wood to push it it. NEVER USE A HAMER ON UR BEARINGS!
Yes, I always use a table vice when installing bearings into endbells. I usually freeze the bearing first and also put a drop of thin oil in the recess in the endbell so the bearing goes in Easy and can come out easier.
Is this the stock motor??? How many hrs do you think you have on it? I feel like this was quick but of course I don’t drive your vehicles with you every time off camera either lol

It also worked for me, I didn’t see your comment before I posted mine
Man sand might have the same consistency as water when no in view. It’s amazing how it literally gets every where. Even sealed systems
Bread works better than grease for forcing a bearing out. It's a lot thicker and doesn't push out around the edges etc.
I’ll do that next time for sure

100%, this works in the car world too (actual, 1/1 cars).
@@Boostguru yep sure does! Pilot bearing on my 02 camaro

Yeah Max5 should get the job done. I gotta put one in the DBXLE too.
To get the back bearing out you can push bread 🍞 in it. Works better than fett.
Great vid , I suppose we will all be doing this at some point 👍👌👍
Yep, it’s a $1 fix or a $150 fix, depending on the motor of course
Are they narchi . Shate board brings. Abec 7s
Thanks for sharing
Awesome appreciate you sharing
You can use bread and it will push the bearing out very easily and less messy 👊👊👍👍
Yeah I’ll give that a try when that back bearing goes. Grease just comes up through the shield sides.

Couldn’t you use a c-clamp also instead of tapping it on with mig pliers?
maybe if you can keep it square.

That was that clicking I herd . So did you. Made it sound like the pinion. . No way to align it a

I'd say maybe 2hrs total time, tops.
@@ExocagedRC that doesn’t seem like a defect to you?
@@ExocagedRC he meant how long the bearings last
bearings spektrum 750kv ?
You just saved spektrum so much money on warranties lol
LOL well its a $1 fix if you maintain the vehicle.
I use bread to get the rear bearing out the motor
Spectrum needs to talk to their supplier about their motor bearings. Seems like they're having a lot of issues with them.
They won't care unless people send them in for warranty.
@@vector292 a lot of people have. The 3s line had a lot of failures in the last 6 months
My WP 4268 disintegrated it’s bearing
You don't wanna damage the balls. I heard that didn't I?
Yep. BEARING BALLS…..😄😄
Best advice ever!!!
@@ExocagedRC 8x22x7 bearing size you stated. Been looking for this all day just got a used one. Thx!!
💯👌👉👍
