Wouldn't an ERBE set cover that? Plus a couple of odd ones to make up the difference.

The reason I say that is because the cars are near identical and the fact that I tend to find it's always the same bearings that actually wear out. What I try to do is have a full set on hand plus loads of extra carrier bearings as they're the ones that seem to go first.

I probably haven't helped at all, but it's always nice to chat! ;)

Go with one of the 45 piece kits.

 

As they will include the stupid bearings that slip over the diff cups. Ive recently placed an order with the first link ....... but no idea what to expect. In reality any bearing ABEC1 will be fine in the drive line/pivots etc.  You only need higher ABEC rated bearings in high RPM environments like inside a brushless motor.

 

RCEcho is a good company. Id be surprised if you could get the full set of bearings from rcbearings cheaper tbh. If you are stuck for sizes and don't know what to get ......  just go on the traxxas website and go over the exploded parts images and make a tally of what size bearings and how many you need.

 

When I rebuilt my summit there were a silly amount of different sized bearings used. As much fun as the summit is its an absolute pig to work on.

 

Bearing shopping list:

 

6701-2RS (Outer Diameter: 18mm / Internal Diameter: 12mm / Width: 4mm) x 4pcs
6704-2RS (Outer Diameter: 27mm / Internal Diameter: 20mm / Width: 4mm) x 2pcs
MR85-2RS (Outer Diameter: 8mm / Internal Diameter: 5mm / Width: 2.5mm) x 5pcs
MR115-2RS (Outer Diameter: 11mm / Internal Diameter: 5mm / Width: 4mm) x 16pcs
MR126-2RS (Outer Diameter: 12mm / Internal Diameter: 6mm / Width: 4mm) x12pcs
686-2RS (Outer Diameter: 13mm / Internal Diameter: 6mm / Width: 5mm) x 2pcs

688-2RS (Outer Diameter: 16mm / Internal Diameter: 8mm / Width: 5mm) x 4pcs

Cheers BEZ that's great as I can not find my manual at mo.

I had to strip down the main transmission as it was not changing gear, and found that all the bearing are very rusty and in poor condition due to running in water so need to replace them first. and then do the rest as had a front gearbox bearing failure to a couple of weeks ago too. It's all sorted for now but it does desperately need a hole new bearing charge.

Just orderd the first linked bearing set so will see what there like when they get here.

Cheers for the help all.
