T3 bearing needs

Post by shodog »

Recently I bought a T3 for a runner. It's the ready to run kit and it doesn't have bearings so I plan to get some from Walawala. I just wanted to confirm that 12 3/16x3/8x1/8 and 2 3/8x5/8x5/32" will fully ball race the truck.

You also need the bearings for in the middle of the diff.

2) 5/32x5/16

And if you want to "fully" ballrace it: one 3/16x5/16 in the slipper hub. This is almost never used, but the early Stealths did use one. Now it's a bushing. :)

According to Associated the bushing is much better in the slipper hub, but I know a lot of guys who still prefer a bearing. I have tried both and can't tell the difference.

Thanks for all the help guys. I was going to get this set http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220059203780&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=012 then add a couple of bearings to it.

I also need to get Two semi truck sets and a High lift set but thats another story all together.

Avid bearings are very good for the price. I run them in my B4/T4 rear wheel hubs and have about 30 more, cuz if you race, you know that they are always the first to become overly gritty whether cleaned or not.
