I do not run one on mine.
This is the second full summer of hard running and the stock motor is still hitting 40mph. If your motor has alot of end play then I probably would add one. -
I figured for 7 bux and 10 minutes of work what the heck ill put one in cant hurt.
I asked the same question not to long ago. Link to the page for intall and comments of why it does what it does.

cheap insuranceThe Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

I run 4 boats with the the SV system...all with thrust bearings. 2 of those have been strong for over 2 years of hard racing. In fact, the motor I have in my Spec SV has been in there for 2 race seasons now, and I still get accused of cheating because the boat is noticably faster on the straights than the other identical boats... not because of the bearing, but because the bearing helps keep the motor strong.
btw - I love these motors!
I think thrust bearings are well advised. I've seen a few endbells pop off.Comment

Agreed 1000x's over, should use one. Why Aquacraft does not is likely to keep the cost down but they really should.Comment
