Is the Hitman Pro Bearing STAINLESS STEEL? Because i hate rusted bearings ???
I was thinking about getting a DV888 but the Hitman Pro released and it looks super awesome but the first thing that came into my mind is that YYJ bearings are not stainless steel and rust… HELP PLEASE ;D
The SPEC bearing that comes with with the Hitman Pro is stainless steel. That’s if it comes with a SPEC bearing.
SPEC is YYF, not YYJ. If it comes w/ the YYJ SPEED bearing then it will be stainless steel.
EDIT
Per the description the bearing is “Size C (.250 x .500 x .187) YYJ SPEED Bearing”
Thanks guys so it is stainless?
Yup, the Speed bearing in the Hitman Pro is stainless.
Ok, just a heads up, I just got my Hitman Pro about 30mins ago and its heaven on a string. SOOOO SMOOTH!!! Well worth the $43!!!
There is ways you can fix rusted bearings, because they’ll happen sometime anyway…
I suggest this
This is a tutorial will show you how to quickly, safely, and economically remove the rust from your bearings. Please note, this tutorial is regarding steel ball bearings only. White vinegar is a human safe acid, but will dissolve copper and nickel....

thanks for the heads up
I’m getting (or at least I hope I’m getting) my Hitman Pro tomorrow
Stainless steel can rust!
But, bearings shouldn’t rust unless you expose them to moisture.
