  Be prepared to pay thru your nose for ‘ceramic’ bearings… most of the ones appearing for RC use are probably “instrument grade” rejects and they’re several times the price of normal minature bearings.
  
  What size are you after anyway?

  I do deliveries for an Auto parts company in moorabbin. There are probably a dozen bearing shops in that suburb, let your fingers do the walking son, just make sure you know what you are after.

  Most of the ones I’ve tried don’t usually stock “minature” bearings though. Some can order them in specially for you, but its often cheaper to buy them from a hobby shop.

  ohhh Bearing specialist – make sure you nkow the inner hole diamter, out diamter and thickness of the bearing…
  
  From there you’ll be able to home in on the best solution.
  
  You can do searches online of some bearing makers catalogs to get part numbers 😉

  ok cool. go to a bearing specialist and pay $50 – 100 for your 20c sized ceramic ones then. $15 a skateboard bearing? you gotta stop shopping in japan!:8ball:
