what crank rebuild should i go with?

[Flash-FX]

Had a Hot Rods crank in my TS 771cc for about 11/2 seasons (2008-2009). Cold seized it in the early spring (oops), but it kept on running real good. This fall it finally broke a ring, and when I took it apart,The bearings sounded a little rough. Upon a closer inspection, The cage (that holds the balls separated) on a middle bearing broke apart and was floating around, loose. Just a time bomb at that point. One would think that the bearings would last a lot longer than that (the motor never sank and lived on 32:1 synthetic oil). Basically, a crankshaft is only as good as the bearings it rides on.

My Hot rods crank....RIP.

There was a thread a while back about the RAD billet cranks. Not sure if all billet cranks are the same but I didn't like what I read about the billet cranks in freestyle engines.
