The Revolution Ceramic Series bearings are a low friction bearing with several options to help satisfy anyone's desire. Instead of the steel balls they use silicone nitride ceramic balls (Si3N4).
A ceramic can spin at higher rpms with less drag and the life of the bearing is far greater than a steel bearing but in our industry we suggest that you maintain them with oil or grease every half-gallon to a gallon for the longest life possible. Another benefit to ceramics is the weight difference in the balls allowing for less rotating mass.

The bearing specs are Abec5, 7 G3 Si3N4 Ceramic Balls, PA66 with 30 Glass Fiber Cage, Chrome Steel 52100 Rings, and two rubber seals.
A ceramic engine bearing can allow most RC engines to spin an extra 500 rpm with less drag and the life of the bearing is far greater over a steel bearing.
Another benefit to ceramics is the weight difference in the balls allowing for less rotating mass (0.8g lighter then the steel ball version of this bearing).
Engines Used In:
- Almost all .21/.28 engines
Tips:
Diagnosing: Typically you can tell a front bearing is going out if after a run there is a large wet spot on the bottom of your motor next to the flywheel. A little bit of wet is ok and usually just a sign of a rich low-end needle. If the bearing is bad your signs will be inconsistent tune and possible chance of damaging the crank/case if it completely goes.
Installation: The best way to install is to use a bearing puller/installer, OFNA makes a very affordable one. If you place the new bearing in the freezer for 15 minutes it will be easier to install.
Break In: For the first run of these bearings, Avid suggests that you fatten your motor up on the high-end needle so the ceramic balls will seat instead of skidding them.
Bearing Dimensions:
METRIC: 7mm (Inner) x 19mm (Outer) x 6mm (Width)
STANDARD: 0.27559" (Inner) x 0.74803" (Outer) x 0.23622" (Width)
The Avid 12mm Hex Track Width Spacers are a great way to adjust the width on any car using 12mm hexes with 5mm axles or less without having to change out your hubs. In other words, any modern offroad or onroad vehicle (ie: AE B5, TLR SCTE, and Xray T4). Typically this will help stabilize a vehicle by increasing track width and scrub.
Package Includes:
- 5 x 0.5mm Carbon Fiber 12mm Spacers
- 1 x Doodad container
- 1 x Avid mini decal
Details / Tips:
To install it is usually best to put them in your wheel first before putting on to the car.
Just remember there are in there when you take them off! This is why they included an extra one in this pack because they like to float away like a snowflake.
Benefits:
- Makes working on your diff so much easier.
- No more worries of losing a ball.
- When applying grease to it you won't get your fingers covered in grease from having to press the balls into place.
Tips:
- Steel ball, least expensive and easy to adjust the diff. However you will have to replace them more often and the diff will never be as smooth as a Tungsten Carbide or Ceramic ball version.
- Tungsten Carbide ball, this is what we recommend for most racers, the balls are more true than steel balls and slightly harder but still have a few imperfections which allows the ball to grab the the surface of the grooved rings easily. This makes it easy to set the diff tightness.
- Ceramic ball, these balls are completely smooth and very hard. This makes for the best feeling diff out of all our options but it also makes for the most narrow window for setting your diff tightness correctly. Should only be used by the most experienced of racers.

They are anodized red and designed with an aerodynamic profile to avoid upsetting airflow to the rear spoiler, and most importantly, the under-side has serrated grippers to help keep your wing secure.
The serrated bottom also prevents the button from twisting your new wing wrap causing the lamination to separate from the decal layer. Basically, they stop you from looking like a bucky with dirt in between the layers of your "pro" wing wrap.
These parts fit almost every buggy and truggy wing on the market. For those racers with “less than perfect” wing mount holes, the serrated teeth grip the wing so that you can over-size the hole to straighten your wing and it will stay in place.
Features:
- Anodized red with serrated teeth.
- 12mm Button Head Screws included to complete the low drag aero effect
Includes:
- 2 x Wing Mount Buttons
- 2 x Button Head M3x12mm screws
- 1 x Avid Mini Decal Sheet

The TLR SLRC (Super Low Roll Center) Shims are made out of 100% carbon and offered in this set with two thicknesses of 0.5mm and 1.0mm.
Lowering the front hinge pins allows the front end to roll more. This is extremely helpful for absorbing the extra energy caused by high bite tracks like carpet/astro turf/prepped clay.
It can sometimes be counter-intuitive thinking why this helps, but a good way to picture the benefits, imagine your car has turnbuckles as front shock. When giving your car any steering input the car will immediately respond causing the rear to become unstable.
This increase in roll helps slow all that reaction down.
Package includes:
- 1x 0.5mm carbon shim
- 1x 1.0mm carbon shim
Specifications:
- 4mm bullets to glow plug end
- Black 22awg
- 230mm long
Specifications:
- 4mm bullets to female Futaba plug.
- 20awg and 350mm long.
- Covered in a black nylon sleeve.
They also feature the low profile head design to keep your wire setup nice and clean looking.
Specifications:

Slide bearing grease provides great protection to your bearing by maintaining lubrication and adding an extra barrier that helps block dust/dirt to reach the deep groove where the ball spins against the rings.
This grease is a light white and capable of performing at temps between -50c to 150c. And guess what, this is the grease that Avid uses in 90% of it's bearings so you are already getting the best grease in your stock bearings and now you can replenish them to make your bearings last longer.
The best thing that separates this grease other then the performance is the syringe that it comes with that makes it so easy to apply. The syringe holds 1/2 oz (6 cc) of grease and ships as pictured minus the ziplock bag which includes a rubber sealing tip.
Avid Slip Bearing Oil will blow you away from the performance gains you will receive by using it. Take our word for it, this is very expensive oil and has been through several 3rd party tests and it isn't even a competition against the other common light oils in the world. This Teflon based oil is designed to reduce metal on metal wear by reducing friction and will remove dirt while displacing other moisture to add protection from rust.
The Slip oiler pen gives easy access to bearings with a 25.4mm steel tip which is protected by the plastic cap. It holds 7.4cc of oil which should last you well over a year of racing.
Oil can be used on wheel and clutch bearings. If you want to prolong the life of a clutch bearing Avid suggests that you blow out the grease of the bearing with an air compressor and use the bearings just like this for the first 1/2 gallon.
This leaves a slight layer of protection to the bearing and then each time you take your motor out to check the clutch shoes, you should wipe down the bearing to remove any dirt collected on the outside and then add 1 drop of Slip Bearing Oil to the bearing before putting back into the clutch.
Avid Slop Shock O-ring Lube provides nearly friction-less lubrication for your o-rings and doesn't washout or swell from silicone shock oil.
Specifications
- Won't washout or swell from silicone shock oils.
- Nearly friction-less lubrication for shock o-rings and shafts.
- Provides protection against corrosion.
- Fully compatible in RC temp ranges. -51c to 124c.
- 4.5ml in an acrylic twist cap container.
The Revolution Ceramic Series bearings are a low friction bearing with several options to help satisfy anyone's desire. Instead of the steel balls they use silicone nitride ceramic balls (Si3N4).
What makes this bearing unique is that it has a rubber seal on one side while having a metal shield on the other. Rubber seals are great protectors against dirt but the price is that they offer a little more friction due to the tighter seal. Now the performance of a metal shield is excellent but allows dirt to get in easily. So with the Revolution series, you run the rubber side towards the outside and the metal towards the inside. You get the protection of the rubber but the added performance by having one less rubber seal.
But you don't have to stop there, if you are truly performance oriented and want the least amount of friction then you're in luck. You can quickly pop off the rubber seal with an X-acto and place the metal shield facing outward in your hubs. This is the best performance you could attain while maintaining some protection from dirt.
