It's probably a clutchbell bearing. You may have to do a process of elimination to be sure, though.

My Feedback: (2)

Most bearing failures I have experienced have been in the axle carriers and the diffs.

What makes you think you have a bad bearing? Just the sound?

When I have heard whistling (high pitched screaching) sounds from my RC's it has always been due to an overly tight mesh between the clutchbell and spur gear.

unrelated: but your from Keyser, that is a cool town (at least it has a cool look to it with the elevated bridge and all). i drive through your stomping grounds every year on my way to Petersburg for an annual excursion down through smokehole gorge. Beautiful part of the country you live in.
