Can You HEAR A Bad Bearing in an RC Car Nitro Engine? Yes - Invisible Speed LIVE Highlights

[@bennettironman]

This is exactly what I have got on mine thanks JQ for example

[@jackdurden466]

I hear it, although my main problem is I’ll always blame my own carb adjustments before anything else. The last thing I’d expect would be a bearing. So you’ve got me thinking I should put new bearings in each engine that I run. Not the worst thing, but at least I’d have one thing solved. Good advice!

Hi J.!Some thoughts about ceramic bearings? Thnx.

[@THEDnARACER]

I always call the rear bearing noise a howl. It’s surprising how many people run their engines with that sound. I hear that all the time at the track and always go suggest changing the bearings and have had some people go “no it’s ok. It’s always sounded like that”

[@garystudt7387]

Good video. Thanks

I’ve found that the sound of a steel rear bearing going bad is more noticeable than a ceramic. The steel bearings sound kinda rough/gritty and the ceramics kinda whistle or howl

Hey JQ. When do you think your black edition buggy will be back in stock? I have a big race coming up towards the end of July and would love to order your buggy to race with.

Mayako is the buggy to get. There are some BEs left but it is discontinued

[@brentlegg4895]

@@invisiblespeedrc Oh okay. I had looked on the US site and it had said out of stock. I'll look into getting a Mayako.

Yes you can and hear them, 2 of my uncles could tell me by just listening! Blew me away until I learned, what to listen for, you've just shown/played what they taught me 👍🏻 1 worked for Jaguar other Aeronautics. If your hard of hearing/old search KZbin for: 'Troubleshoot Electronics FAST with a Super Probe' it can pick up bearing rumble too.
