Boca Orange Seal LBT ceramic bearings

The Boca Bearing Company have announced the launch of the new Orange Seal LBT line of ceramic wheel bearings for radio controlled cars and trucks. The Orange Seal bearings are the latest addition to Boca’s Lightning Bearing Technology (LBT) line of high performance bearings for racing enthusiasts and are rated at an ABEC 7 tolerance, which makes the Orange Seal line the most precise bearing possible. The orange seals are designed to give the most protection from the elements possible while creating absolutely zero drag that is usually associated with full contact seals. Lastly the Orange Seal LBT bearings come with grade 5, ceramic Si3N4 balls which allow the bearing to be lighter and to spin 50% faster than a traditional bearing.
