Looking at the website of the Hobby King, I saw these ceramic bearings for the 500. says greatly reduces vibration, someone already bought and found that actually decreases vibration? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11435&Product_Name=Ceram ic_bearing_upgrade_kit_for_HK-500_

Don't know about reducing vibration but ceramic bearings seem to make the helis run smoother. I run ceramics in all high speed applications in my scale 450 ships and in the little CX2 I fly in the house and they certainly all run very smooth. Possibly because ceramics have a closer tollerance maybe. I dunno? Give 'em a try. I feel you will notice the difference.

Maybe they reduce vibrations compared to some of the low-grade bearings that come with some of the HK heli kits?
