Aura Driveline Bearing Kit | Awesomatix A800
#AV-AW-A800A, $90

The Aura Driveline Bearing Kit for the Awesomatix A800 is part of our new pinnacle bearing line developed for racers seeking the highest level of performance. We took what we learned from our rear ceramic engine bearings and shrank that technology down to offer the most advanced bearings for your RC vehicle. (Image is not accurate).

The hub bearings have a single metal shield for the least amount of friction while offering protection to debris and the diffs have dual metal shields because the bearing is exposed to debris on both sides, high speed nylon ball retainer*, Si3N4 ceramic balls, tight tolerances, and high-speed oil.

Considering the diversity of our loyal customers, spending more is not always the way to go. The Aura line is not designed for the warriors that race several times a week and don't have time to go through their car to provide the proper maintenance needed to keep the Aura in a good state. We recommend that you stick with our greased Halo Revolution bearing line which has established a prowess all of its own by being a 4 time IFMAR World Champion winning product.
