Is this the correct bearing for main shaft for a 500ESP ?

that bearing has a 1 rating for abec or whatever it is ... i think thats the lowest on the scale and is not good... i think the higher the number the better the bearing is ..

i put abec4s in a brushless motor thinkin wow i got a awesome deal on them .. 4 races they was toast ..

but i could be wrong on the numbers ..
i have a set of traxx bearings from a slash or whatever it was that uses them .. they have blue seals on them .. working great so far .. and was good price ..

Those look correct. A smaller class number means a tighter tolerance and a larger number means a looser tolerance. This is just the opposite of the ABEC system.

right so if the abec number is lower the bearing isnt a good one .. the higher the number in abec is better ..

the abec number for that bearing is 1 ..

and i think its on a scale of 1 to 14 or something like that

Just remember that ABEC does not indicate quality or smoothness. It is a tolereance scale. Figure that one out

[nmdesertracer]

1 on a abec scale would be a loose tolerance.
