Welcome aboard!!
Yes, there have not been much discussions regarding the bearing on 140RX at
RCU, but lot more here.

  I just searched the RC Universe forum for "bearing wear". I saw 1 post by
Mark Novack dated 8-02. It had only 2 individual responses. curious ??

  I'm a "newbie" to pattern -just joined NSRCA last month. I've always been
a OS fan. I've been hearing of you guys bearing probs and it seems to be not
receiving much attention. I agree -someone needs to stir this pot :-)

        Well, I haven't operated my OS 1.40 yet.  It's still in the garage
awaiting the completion of my Titan.  I'm not sure it would be fair for me
to pose a question with third-hand knowledge.

      Keith:    Why not pose this question to Bill Baxter,head of the
O.S.Service department?
      You can reach him via RC Universe,in the O.S.Engine portion where
various manufacturer's reps answer questions about their particular product.
      This will also ensure a fair bit of worldwide publicity.

        Has anyone, especially someone who is sponsored by OS, talked to
them about the rear bearing problems with the OS 1.40?  Is there anything
they can or will do?  Is O.S. working on a solution?

          Wayne:  I have run 61's,with both seals in, and only one seal
in,and it made no difference.
          I suspect it would be the same with the 1.40, BUT if a seal should
let go,it would be hard on the piston/cylinder assembly.
          I never removed any grease.  It will be gone after a run or three.

            After extracating the bearing last night my suspicions where
confiremed.
            The bearing was rusty and was rather rough.   New bearings from
Purvis going
            in tonight..  BTW $14.95 ea for bearings by Bearings liimited
#61904-2RS.

            Do you guys remove the seal or leave it in?  I have heard of
doing it both
            ways.
