NOFX Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Check out "rc bearings" I've had bearings from him. Good quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadleg Roberts Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 It will be the same set as the Carnage so should be easily found. Are you sure the bearings have disintegrated and not just needing servicing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the bearings have disintegrated and not just needing servicing? I've just ordered full diff gear with bearings. It's definitely the bearing gone case has slit and nothing left in it. Only had car 2 weeks from new and used 3times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadleg Roberts Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ah well, probably wise to have a spare diff anyway. I didn't have problems with ball bearings or diff assemblies on my Carnage, but a drive cup coming from the diff sheared in half. You have to get used to doing repairs with FTX.

Noj Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Stock bearings are poor quality, replacing like for like is pointless. Better to buy from a bearings supplier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orty84 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'm starting to thing that about repairs a lot. Had it out few times and broken twice lol. Thanks Noj I will look into better bearings. In meantime I've just got this bargain to keep me going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
