Another great video. I wondered how to change bearing on a motor. Pretty straight forward you make it look easy. Sent you an email when you can get around to it. Can't wait for another surf and Turf
The best assortment of bearings I've found are from an outfit in Boca Raton called (for lack of a better name) Boca Bearings. Add a dot calm at the end of their name and it will take you there. I've been using them for three or four decades now. They do nothing but bearings, and have every possible style bearing you can imagine; from full ceramic to cheap Chinese; from micro to big enough for a D-9 lower unit. Check them out and see how their prices compare. Inquiring minds would like to know.... 😉
Dr. Jet what is you opinion of Fast Eddy ceramic bearings, I’ve purchased a complete replacement set for my Traxxas 4tech 2.0 but have not installed them. Just curious, but they got to be better than the stock ones from Traxxas. The car barely free rolls out of the box. Thanks
@@nealstarling5422 As far as I know, Fast Eddy does not make ball bearings. Neither do Losi or 99% of the other names out there. SKF, Lufkin, and a handful of others make ball bearings. What happens is all the common RC suppliers buy bearings in bulk from the dedicated bearing manufacturers and market them to a specific group. In other words, a Fast Eddy Blast-O-5000 bearing will probably be the same exact bearing as a Losi Blast-O-5000, or a Boca Blast-O-5000. If you are asking about ceramic bearings in general, I highly recommend them. Remember, you can get ceramic balls in steel races or ceramic balls in ceramic races; prices vary accordingly. For 99% of my drive-train use, I use stainless steel bearings. I remove and clean them after every run, so it's not an issue. If I need to replace motor bearings as Big B did here, I would absolutely use ceramic or full ceramic if I felt it worth the extra investment. Full ceramic bearings can be run in seawater forever as long as no marine growth attacks them.
I bought these from ebay, here's the link. www.ebay.com/itm/164167070639?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=g1frZY4GQom&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=yQkZS9FcQay&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I'm running them in my ul19 right now with zero issues
Great video Big B, thanks for sharing 👍 Have you had that TP motor from new? Any idea how many hours run time before the bearings needed replacing. I'm thinking of ordering a bespoke 'build your own motor' from TP and wondering now about the bearing life span 🤔
I've had that motor for at least a year in a half. Ran it in the limitless for 6montha than threw it in the deltaforce for 6 months. Tp bearings aren't special in any way, I'd recommend upgrading the bearings to ceramic, I had a tppower 4050 bearing blow out mid run and destroyed the rotor and stator the 4050 was only 4 or 5 months old?
Hey man how are you I posted a video on my channel I have it running super nice and it's thanks to you for all the tips and everything man check it out thanks a lot bro
can we get a video soon on how to add the second cooling line to the blackjack 42 sense it comes with a second port not being used , new to boats and would love to learn where to begin to adding a second cooling line to the rutter
@@IRONCLADRC wish you were in my neck of the woods. I just gave a guy $1100 to clean up my big old live oak for the season. At least he didn’t tear up my yard doing it. Still, that’s another boat I won’t be getting 🤨
You say you got rid of your Limitless. Did you not like it? I was tossing the idea of picking up the new Limitless V2. As usual good work Big B Boat Gang
BTW, my son told me that there are softer non-metallic bore brushes in all the popular gauges and calibers. He felt like that would be a better choice.
Nice !!! Quick and easy. Your rc boat tutorials are always informative and helpful. Thanks
Really want to see that motor in one of you boats, how about your larger outrigger Oh yeah
Those old bearings were shot bro. Loving your choice of replacement parts. Have a great week bro
you're intro getting cooler & cooler BigB nicee! 😁😁

Hey Big B. Is the rotor shaft supposed to have 0 play forward and back?
Forward and back there is usually some play that's completely normal..
@@IRONCLADRCthanks bud. Hope you and the family are having an awesome weekend so far. Cheers!
Hi would you have a link for the bearings,i have 5mm shaft 4060 1650kv pro comp

@@IRONCLADRCThanks very much Also what kvbmotir is your 4070 TP you ran in blackjack 42 olwase
1350
@@IRONCLADRC Hi thanks very much 👍
Nice video Big B
The BOCA ceramic bearings I put in my 4092 leo were noisy as hell.
Hi mate remember a TP4060 is real amp hog, a 1900kv can pull 248 amps
Great video Big B, thanks for sharing 👍

Nice run with the ul 19.
inner race to shaft seems really loose.a dab of loctite on the shaft to bearing would make sure you dont get any spinning on the shaft.
Thanks for the tip brother 👊

I'm working on the video right now it will be out tomorrow morning
Hi my FB friend what's the easiest way to get ahold of u I found some train stuff you mite be interested in 🙂
Ironcladedout@gmail.com
I changed mine to ceramic as well the tp bearing they come with are crap
I agree. Nothing special about tp bearings that's for sure
V2 with the 160 esc from the blackjack!!!!! That would be awsome just to test...
Coming up here shortly been super busy with the tree service hurricane season is coming up here on the east coast

Boat Gang
I loved my limitless I actually sold it when the blackjack 42 came out, Funded my new boat
@@IRONCLADRC OK great news! Thanks for the fast reply brother I hope the weekend was good and the rest of the week is even better!
That tp pulls over 400 amps needs that castle hydro ESC for sure but that v2 sonic wake will be badass with that setup
Nice clean simple installation.
Glad you did this one, just incase I need to do one.
cool video big b,you make things look easy,have a good one brother
Would it work to use a bronze shotgun barrel cleaning brush to clean the stator? Looks like about a 12 gauge.
That's actually what I started cleaning the motor with but it was kinda aggressive.
@@IRONCLADRC Well, that’s what I was wondering. Maybe there’s a softer option. I’ll ask my son when I see him.
BTW, my son told me that there are softer non-metallic bore brushes in all the popular gauges and calibers. He felt like that would be a better choice.
Roger that I'll definitely look into it thanks
