Long Lasting Spin from Serpent SER1398

RC model builders looking for straightforward bearing replacements will find the Serpent SER1398 effective and reliable. These 4x8x3mm flanged stainless bearings are built to reduce friction and resist corrosion in common running conditions.

Applications Across RC Models

The 4x8x3 flanged design works well in wheel hubs, steering pivots and transmission shafts. They give consistent rolling action and help reduce the need for frequent bearing swaps in both club racing and weekend bashing.

Installation and Upkeep Advice

Ensure the flange seats correctly and the inner race turns freely on the shaft. Keep bearings free of grit and apply a small amount of light oil during routine checks. These bearings are adaptable to street circuits and light off-road tracks.

Will these fit sealed hubs designed for flanged bearings?

They will fit where the hub accepts a 4x8x3 flanged unit, but double-check the sealing profile so the flange does not interfere with dust covers.

Can I use these bearings on salt-exposed surfaces?

Stainless steel helps against corrosion, but rinse and dry bearings after exposure to salt to avoid long term pitting or seal damage.

Are these bearings suitable for high rpm applications?

They handle typical RC shaft speeds well, though precision sealed bearings may be preferable for consistently high rpm race use.

How do I remove a stuck flanged bearing safely?

Use a gentle press or a dedicated puller and protect the surrounding parts. Apply penetrating oil if corrosion is present, then work slowly to avoid damage.
