Is it worth swapping out the bushings for bearings? If so arrma or amazon?
Kraton Bell crank bushing to bearing?

Yes. Bocca bearings are what I recommend.

Looks like the left side of bellcrank (non servo saver side) has a TON of play up and down making the steering quite sloppy.
Bearing upgrade on the kraton is a great idea! I do a fast eddy’s on all my rigs. Ceramic in the infraction! 
I agree about the bearing.
I wonder why no bearing to start with? Because no complete rotation???

+1 FastEddyBearings great bearings plus they are local for me.

Nobody understands Arrmathink. The TLR Typhon is the only one I’m aware of that comes with bearings instead of bushings. I figured the Limitless V2 would get a bearing upgrade but nope, still bushing.
The one advantage of a bushing over a bearing is that it won’t rust and seize so maybe Arrma figures the steering rack won’t be disassembled/serviced often so for this application, bushings are fine.
Even with bushings there shouldn’t be a ton of up and down play. Make sure your top plate is seated properly.

I have the Kraton 6s V5 RTR and im looking to replace those bushings to bearings. Anyone what exact size bearings are an exact fit?
Edit: Does 6x10x3mm sound right?
Just get the fasteddy set.
I don't need an entire set of bearings for other parts (I have some bearings already). I just need the correct size so I can order them from jimsbearings (can only the exact sizes and quantity needed).
Edit: Is this the kit that you mean @Fishtank https://jimsbearings.com/collections/6x10x3/products/6x10x3-individual
Unsure but you can check the exploded views for exact measurements.
Yea the sizes from the fasteddy link I provided are the same size of the brass bushings from the kraton explody view, but I just don't know if that would be correct size for actual bearings to fit in the same slot. I would assume so, but thats why im on here asking lol.
They will if it’s the right part number.
