You need four 22x8x7 and one 26x10x8 and one 22x10x7 that is the hard to find one or you can get the set at largescale for under 20 bucks

Thanks guys, but who do I know if they are the same quality as redcat or better when it doesn't say the manufature's name like (fasteddy)ect... it just says bearing kit

They blow redcat out of the water on durability and are just as good as fasteddy. I am running that bearing set and have had no problems yet with massive run time on them. In my opinion don't pass up a deal on them that is this good

Also, the type pf shield makes a difference.

There is metal, teflon, rubber etc.

Rubber seems better to keep dirt out.

I changed over my entire truck to these KML bearings found on eBay.. here's the 22 x 8 x 7 but they do carry all the sizes we need.

They work great, they're rubber sealed and dirt cheap.
