I recently had my first 'Incident' with my Trex 600e Sad

Quite a tame crash by my standards but enough to destroy the main blades, and bend the main shaft. I've started repairing the damage this afternoon but have now found out that the main bearings are shot as well (6800ZZ and 689zz)

I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that the Align bearings have failed so easily, especially as all three of them are now really rough and un-usable.

Is this a common fault with Align bearings? Do they have a reputation for being cheap and nasty? Are there any higher quality manufacturers out there? Or maybe I should ask, Is this just something I'm going to have to accept and account for when repairing a crashed bird of this size?

Thanks for any comments.


Fred
