T3 bearing needs

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.

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.
