I looking for tail bearings for align 500E. I found two different bearings with the same size. :? http://www.anythingheli.com/align-beari ... t-rex-500/ and http://www.helidirect.com/abec-3-bearin ... 0-600.html. Beside the price difference, what is the difference between the two? :oops:

Just brand.. Possibly tolerance.. I'd go with standard Align bearings.. Or maybe Bocca.

The ABEC 3 is probably better quality than the Align ones.
Most heli pilots get there replacement bearings from Bocca.
They even have a section specifically for each heli.
Heres the 500. Click on kit components to see the individual bearings.
