Curado 70 - Bearing Size for Handles ?

[Falkus]

Am thinking of adding the bearing in the handles but I wanted to double check if this is the right size (4x7x2.5) 

I know I can get the bearings from Ebay which is cheap with shipping. I wanted to turn that into a little Scorpion. 

 

Thanks in advance ..

Call Tackle Warehouse and they may tell you since they sell bearings and service/tune reels.

That would be correct

correct also same for the bushing on the worm gear

Thanks man - So I would need 5 of 4x7x2.5 bearing for each Curado 70 to add on. 

Two Bearings for each Handle (4 bearings ) and one on the worm gear 

Guess I got a project to do  when I get back from Canada

yup did it on my cu71hg.

If you dont mind - where did you get your bearings. 

 

I was thinking of getting some from ebay. 

 

Like this: TRB RC 4x7x2.5mm Precision Ball Bearings ABEC 3 Rubber Seals (10) MR74-2RS-BU for $9.98 since I dont need Boca Bearings on those  

 

[Pinoy_Basser]

I got them from a local RC car shop or a local bearing supplier depending on the size.

I got mine from Boca Bearing. IMHO, changes the reel for the better. I get a more "connected" feeling. Or I could be just projecting.  I didn't do the worm gear yet however- fishing it.
