Hello.
Which bearings are the best upgrade for a motor 40000 rpm+?

Ceramic bearings are the best you can buy for a boat. They may be hard to find in the size you need, but once they are put in they will NEVER rust & should last a lifetime - in boat years - if lubricated properly. JIM

PeoPle will say boca but I use standard bearing from vxb bearings for a buck a piece and order a dozen for less than a set of bocas

JKR: When you pay $160-$250 for a big brushless motor I don't think $12(+-) each is too much to pay. I don't have a clue about to lubricating them with or if they even need lube. Anybody out there know? JIM
