The bearing mentioned (3x6x2.5) works very well in the Aristo Bettendorf trucks, depending on whose
axles U use, U may have to polish them down a little to go thru the bore of the bearing... They can also
be fitted to Aristo's Barber truck very nicely, but its a good bit more work an I don't think its worth the
trouble or expense because the factory bronze bushings R quite free rolling the way they they R...

At well over twice the price of the RC bearings, I would hope U don't have to file the axles...
The AC bearings have a MSRP of $39 for10, probably $28-$30 street price !!!!!!!
Thanks, but I'll file the axles as necesary, once set-up for it, I can do both ends of
axle in about minute on average anyway... Don't know what VXB is getting for them
these days, bet its at least double the RC price though...
