I'm looking for a bearing with a 3/16"ID and a 7/16 or 11mm OD. I put B4 CVD's on a baja king and the axle is slightly smaller than 5mm, which is the ID of the stock bearings.

I suppose I could buy 3/16X3/8 bearings and shim the outer bearing to match the hub. I was thinking of using JB weld cause it can break off when needed. Any suggestions?

I might use some heat shrink tubing to get the play out, that might expand it to 5mm.

Could you use the B4 hub carriers on the Baja King? Just an idea. Then you could use the stock B4 bearings. Shrink wrap might work as well.

HPI part number 6115 had spacers to put 3/16 bearing inside and have the spacer make the OD 11mm.

I just bought a set, it works perfect, friction and slop free. I have 4 CVD's on my baja king now. All you need to do is shim the inside axle and thats it.
