Ball bearing set for XXXT

[Herpetologist]

Is there a ball bearing set available for the Team Losi XXXT stadium truck? All I have found is the ball spacer from trinity. I also found the Conversion rear end. Do you think it will help the truck perform better? Thanks,
Dustin

The XXXT should come with full ball bearings if it is in kit form and you build it. If not, check the sizes of the bushings in the instruction manual and simply go to the LHS and get a set of ProMax ball bearings the same size as the bushings. At Hobby People, the ProMax ball bearings are $3.99 for a pack of 4 ball bearings. I installed a full ProMax metal shielded ball bearing set in my Traxxas electric 4-Tec, including in the steering bell cranks for $16.00. They are great for on-road cars, but I would get rubber sealed ball bearings for an off-road car; unfortunately those will be quite a bit more expensive. You can get by with metal shielded bearings in an off-road car, but you will have to clean and lube them once in a while.
