Default Fasteddybearings vs Wraith kit bearings

If I'm building a kit Wraith is it worth ordering bearings from Fasteddy and use them instead, or are the ones on the kit good quality?

I found that Fasteddy bearing are better oiled than stock bearings, but if your going to change them, change them for something like ceramics.....or maybe fully ceramics.

I'd use the ones in the kit first. They are good quality.

Kit bearings are good, but it would be wise to order the Fast eddy bearings as well for spares.

I'm still using the majority of the bearings that came stock with my wraith after over a year. I don't drive in water or mud so that has a lot to do with it. The ones I did replace we're because I happened to rebuild the front axle and threw the cheap RPP bearing in my cart. Cheap bearings are good if you don't drive in nasty stuff.

OK, thanks for all the advise guys. I'll order some Fasteddy bearings to have as spares, and use the kit ones for now (it's mostly all built, so no point ripping it apart to replace them now).

IMO,
If your building the kit, use our bearings in your build and save the stock for spares. Less chance of needing to replace them as quickly.
