Bearing kit for a 10T using 3/16 axles?

[sneako43]

I am building a truck from spares. It's a C stamp chassis. I need a new bearing kit. I will be keeping the ratio stock but adding a B4 top shaft/slipper assembly. I'm also using SC10 axles to make it 3/16".

I have orderd from BOCA before. I want to use them again to buy a kit. The 10T kit is equipped with 1/4" bearings for the front and rear axles.

Will a bearing kit from the T2 or T3 match the diff in a 10T? Ideally I want a bearing set that will give me what I need for the diff without getting 1/4" bearings.

BOCA has them all...I compared the specs but I got kind of confused. Hoping the gurus here can help me out.

Found these on ebay....says "RC10 ST with 3/16 axles" :

You're right...ebay looks like a decent place to find decent bearings.

Any ideas on which bearing kit will work with a stock 10T gear case and 3/16" axles?

The 10T, T2, and GT (and I think the T3 too, but not sure) all use the same bearing kit, however all those trucks could have 3/16" or 1/4" rear axles, so you just have to make sure you get a kit with 3/16 rear axle bearing if that is what you are using. The cheap ebay bearing are usually ok in my experience, but for just a little bit more money you can get Avid bearings and know for sure that you are getting good quality.

The ebay kit you linked is correct, but does not include the two small bearings that go inside the outdrives. I can't remember the outdrive size off the top of my head, I think it is 1/8"x3/16x1/8, but hopefully someone else will chime in to confirm that, or you could check the manual and it will tell you for sure.

Thanks for input. My main concern was getting the proper bearings for the case. Looks like you gave me the info I needed.

I'll most likely go with Avid or BOCA rather than the ebay kit.
