Laser 80

Description

Laser 80 bearings from RC Bearings keep your engine turning over smoothly and making the power it was built for. This standard replacement set is manufactured to our own tight specifications using quality parts only, with carefully controlled clearances and tolerances for consistent, dependable running. It’s the easiest way to restore a tired engine without paying OEM prices.

Why Choose Our Laser 80 Bearings?

Rough or noisy bearings rob an engine of power and can lead to bigger repairs down the line. Our Laser 80 bearings are an affordable alternative to costly OEM sets, and you give up nothing in performance. They’re well suited to sport flying and scale models, and they’re a great choice for getting an older engine back into shape.

Every set is built to cope with the constant load a four-stroke puts on its bearings: heat, vibration, and long stretches at high RPM. The result is a crankshaft that spins freely, an engine that idles cleanly, and a smoother, more predictable throttle response in the air.

How Do You Know Your Laser 80 Bearings Are Worn?

Worn bearings usually announce themselves if you know what to listen and feel for. Common signs include:

• A rough, grinding sensation when you turn the prop slowly by hand
• Unusual noise from the front of the engine while it’s running
• An idle that won’t settle or a drop in top-end RPM
• Side-to-side movement in the crankshaft
• A stiff or sticky feel after the engine has sat unused

Catching these early protects the rest of the engine and keeps your repair to a simple bearing swap.

How Do I Install Laser 80 Bearings?

Bearing replacement is easier than most people expect. To help you get it right the first time, we’ve put together a step-by-step video guide: Watch: How to Change Your Engine Bearings. Lay the parts out in order as you take the engine apart, and work slowly and carefully so the new bearings go in straight.

Caring for Your Engine After a Bearing Change

Good habits after each session help your new Laser 80 bearings last much longer. Burn off the remaining fuel before you pack up, and add after-run oil to keep corrosion away from the bearings and crankshaft. Keep the model stored somewhere cool and dry, and make sure no dust or grit gets into the intake between flights.

Laser 80 Bearings FAQ

Can I replace the bearings myself?
Yes. Most modelers can handle it at home with basic tools and a bit of patience. Our video guide covers each step.

Is it worth replacing bearings instead of buying a new engine?
In most cases, yes. If the rest of the engine is in good condition, fresh bearings can bring back smooth running and full power for a fraction of the cost of a replacement engine.
