Murray – do check out the price of bearings from Blokart. Stainless is not as common as steel as they are softer. Blokart use so many that can get a good price on them, so may be cheaper than the local bearing store.

Blokart have good prices on those
You may find that difficult as blokart had them specially made overseas as they are not a standard bearing.

The rear bearing size depends on your stub axle size there a to sizes most older karts have a 6202 with the 15mm axle and Most 2008 come standard with 17mm stub axles bearings and use a 6203. The performance stainless bearings available at blokart last time I check were both marked 6202 as they are custom designed and neither fit the design specs for a 6202 or a 6203. The main reason the bearings a better from blokart is they come with no grease so you save time cleaning all that grease out and also the bearing tolerances have been changed to make them spin better.

Hey Guys
If you have an 08 Kart the rears are on a 17mm axle and are Stainless 6003’s RS as supplied or ZZ. which are Standard hi speed. Not all bearing suppliers have the SS ones on hand as they are a food industry/ marine item. But hey, if you are not on the beach or salt the steel ones are fine and cheaper
. Check our prices I think we are competitive and can post out overnight. Blokart went to Stainless as they in general take more neglect than steelys and less rust staining. However they only “Stain - Less “and still require washing down and normal inox or lube.

Hey youall!
They are a standard bearing just with no Grease in them . Wash out your old ones and “Voila” Orcas top secret is exposed. All standard maintenance stuff as is legal in the one design.
Cheers PB
