Just the part number may also get you there -- many bearings are dimensionally standardized by industry-standard number. If you have the number for one, you can look up the dimensions and cross-reference to suitable replacements/upgrades.

What is a ceramic bearing? I already have purchased bearings that match the oem ones, they sucked. So this time I am asking for much better bearings which they might have to order. I will share the info once I get it correct.

Check out a company called Boca Bearing. They are expensive but well worth it.

Many RC guys swear by them as they hold up and work. To give an example people will replace stock bearing with ceramic bearings in nitro engines that run at 20k + rpm's in RC boats and cars.
