Mini-Z AWD Ceramic Ball Bearing Set

AtomicMods Product ID: 12094
This is a complete bearing set for the mini-Z AWD including the 4 large bearings for the differentials.

Performance
Ceramic bearings are superior to steel bearings in may respects.  Ceramic bearings reduce rolling resistance by 50% and overall friction is reduced 22 fold over standard steel bearings. They also last 5-10 times longer than steel bearings, making them a sound investment. They are stiffer which keeps your wheels pointed dead and true, they spin faster for more top speed, accelerate more rapidly for better performance off the line and have lower friction which makes your driveline more efficient so batteries last longer and motors run cooler.

Manufacturing
The entire manufacturing process can take as much as 70 days. Ceramic bearing balls are made from Si3N4 silicon nitride that has been pressed under extreme pressure, then sintered into incredibly hard pellets. To achieve the mirror fine finish the balls are magnetically levitated and polished with a plasma beam. While all of this may sound pretty far out, it is the reason why they cost so much.

  • Team AtomicMods Comments:I use Ceramic bearings on all of my personal Mini-Zs and it is amazing to see how freely these things spin. Roll the wheel and it seems to go forever. Although a little pricey in contrast to standard bearings, these are definitely worth the extra money. - Rob

Average Rating

I have had my Mini Z AWD for about five months now, this was the first performance part I bought for it. It reduces some weight( if your extreme and want to shed a few ounces ) but the main thing that these will do for you is reduce alot of unwanted friction in AWD because I'm sure you know that they have alot of that. They are well worth the money. Thye just make everything a WHOLE LOT smoother.

OMG this is by far one of my BEST investments. I had considered stacking my FETs 2x2,.. but these Ceramic bearings ALONE showed a huge speed increase.
