Difference in these bearings??

They’re all ‘identical’ but made by different manufacturers. The blue shield ones claim to have a higher load rating than the 2nd example. 1st ones don’t specify a load rating.

I'd look at RC bearings for the full or part kit because it's going to be cheaper and better quality than the questionable ones on amazon

Well to be honest last time I replaced them in the HPI Truggy Flux with amazon ones the writing and font on the bearing sheilds looked just the same so probably made in the same chinese factory (would reorder them ones but not on prime delivery now).

 

Ordered the Blue sheilded ones but Where would you recommend ordering from next? 

 

Other thing is its a basher that gets wet and sometimes goes on the beach so don't want to spend crazy money on expensive ones for them to seize up  😆

RCBearings sell good ones, not had any problems with the ones I've bought from there over the years. 

They do complete kits, partial kits and single bearings. I always get the rubber shielded ones to try keep the dirt out and the grease in.

I was always one to buy bulk of the bearings I need for projects but I priced up for 2 mt10s and found I could buy 3 full sets of rubber sealed from RC bearings for the same price as the bear minimum eBay spurious quality specials I needed to do the 2 so they are now my go to guys for bearings (and I'm a tight Yorkshire bloke so that should say something 🤣)
