Bearing kit

Post by ryukotse_yuki »

So does anyone know where to get a full bearing set for the 10T?? I bought a wheel bearing set recently that was too wide for the rears and would like to redo all the bushings to bearnigs. And if not a kit than bearing size/number of each size list. As well as how the heck do i get rid of the insane wheel wobble on both the front and rear! THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!!

A lot of the wheel wobble is the bushings. Changing to bearings will help that. But bushings also wear out the axles, so you may want to replace those as well. Especially is the truck saw a lot of use.

I will post pics sortly. bearings in the front did nothing to reduce wobble, and it was run 6 times and shelved back in the day!

You definitely have the wrong bearings. They should not be flanged, front or rear (with those hubs).

I don't see a proper kit anywhere, but here's what you need.

8 ) 3/16 x 3/8 plain - front wheels, trans top shaft and idler

4 ) 1/4 x 3/8 plain - rear hubs

2 ) 5/32 x 5/16 plain - inside diff

2 ) 3/8 x 5/8 plain - trans outdrives

http://www.avidrc.com sells them for $1.00 a piece.

I think you meant (8) 3/16 x 3/8 for front bearings and trans.

You'll also need (2) 3/8 x 5/8 for the trans.

Oops, yes. Thanks for catching that. I was kinda doing something else at the same time and wasn't giving it my full attention.

I edited my above post.

Boca bearings also has a $16-17 kit that looks like it has all the bearings for Rc10, 10T and Yokomo Yz10. Just use the search engine on site.

Avid RC has bearings that you can buy individually. They are excellent quality too.
