Hi All,

Pretty much the title says it all, does anyone know what brand of bearings the kit is supplied with? SKF, EZO, etc?

Thanks

Matt

Dunno what the brand is , and I'm too lazy to pull it apart , but they are good!!

No cheap crap in a MA kit !!

Thanks very much for that

I see that the FBL version has just started being distributed here in the UK

My want for one has been upgraded to a need for one

Thanks

Matt

I just found this post. I have to say, i wish this info was more widely available so the consumer would be able to compare. Do align and JR use the same brand. Same with MA. In the end it probably doesn't matter too much because conscious says high dollar bearings aren't worth it. But if nothing else would be interesting info.

I have always noticed MA bearings were very high quality. Similar to the quality Hirobo uses if not the same.

I don't think Align and JR bearings are the same.
Bearings are the bane of my life on heli's, i have changed all the ones on my Align for high quality items and its a much better heli IMO.
The MA bearings are doing well so far, seem like a decent brand

I remember when building my kit I noticed bearings werent all from the same places. Some were Japanese, some from Tiawan, and I think the oneway bearing is German made

One thing I love about MA is that its US based but support a whole melting pot of parts on it

We try to use US made components whenever we have to buy parts from somewhere else (when we don't have the capability to make that part). As far as I know, there are no U.S. manufacturer of micro precision ball bearings. We source our bearings from different manufacturers, and different areas on the model require different grades of bearings so that is taken into account by our engineers.
