How often should you replace the bearings?

When they start to wear... or, if you crash and they are notch.

The warp has oversized bearings in the head/main shaft, they tend to do really well in crashes.

I purchased my warp used and everything seems fine. I prefer to do preventive maintenance when I can. Anywhere have a bearing kit or better to buy as needed?

Keep them lubricated, and they should go for several hundred flights.

I know that the instructions state not to lubricate them, but I (obviously) am not in agreement with this.

Thanks guys. Are y'all replacing all bearings or just the main wear ones? I saw the kit at Boca. Didn't know if there was a cheaper kit than $50.

I side load test the bearings and replace when they are not smooth. After a crash I sideload test all the bearings because not doing so has cost me in the past.
