Ceramic bearings to reduce drag?

[Cfpdscott]

Just doing some thinking. I was curious if anyone has thought about replacing idler wheel/trihub bearings with ceramic racing bearings? Racers do it to get an edge and more speed I wonder if it would work on the viper to reduce drag and get a little more top end?

I am sure it would but I just couldn't justify the risk and cost on a trail sled.

Definitely a better bearing..as far as stickshin...but so slight you would not feel any improvement. Running a high speed champ sled..with 100 other things done..is where they would be good.
