Hello, which sealed bearing kit should be used for a Typhon 3S? Learned the hard way that the kit for “Arrma Typhon Speed Buggy sealed bearing kit” (part number TFE1373) is not the one...

That will get you everything except the bearing for the center driveshaft.

Sorta it does not include the bearings for the steering rack. I can't remember what size they are off the top of my head.

I bought the same kit that @bicketybam listed above. He is correct that the driveshaft bearing isn’t included, but it don’t know that it’s important to swap that one. Also the steering rack bearings are not included. I went with the HR steering rack, which includes its own bearings.

I could have sworn it included them. Don't remember buying them separate. Regardless, no kit from FE will get you closer.
They are 5x10x4

I bought the ones from Avid Bearings recently for the S3 line. I haven’t even had a chance to open them yet to see if the centre bearing is included or not

Did you ever open the kit to see if the center bearing is included?

This is the Avid bearing kit https://www.avidrc.com/flexkit/?kit=2898&kitname=Typhoon+4x4+3s it will include all bearings (center bearing also) (26 total) with the steering rack bushing replacements also. The Revolution bearings are nice rubber on one side metal shielded the other.

Here's some others

Jims https://jimsbearings.com/collection...rock-granite-senton-typhon-3s-blx-w-bellcrank

Some of the slipper assy use a flanged bearing for the spur gear bearing now though the Jims bearings kit come with a extra bearing if it does need it.

Are the fast eddy bearing kit fit the kraton/outcast 4s?

I have not seen a FE kit yet for the 4S, but they do stock the right sizes. You just have to buy them as individuals. There’s only a few sizes you need. Not too hard to do. I actually bought 10 packs of each size to have spares.

Sorry mate, I haven’t. I haven’t had a chance to get any of the cars out for weeks. Off interstate in the morning so I won’t have a chance until next weekend now

It's all good. I already figured out that the center bearing is included in that kit (the Avid one).

Thanks! Ordered the Avid Bearings kit. I also picked up the bearings for my steering that didn't come in the fast Eddies kit.

Does anyone know of /recommend somewhere in the UK to source these sealed kits? All the ones even in ebay are from the USA...

Maybe here https://www.rcbearings.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=15_156&product_id=1897 (choose the rubber sealed kit) somebody else from the UK will hopefully chime in.

Aha!! Awesome. I might get 2 sets, always good to have spares.

How long do you think they might last?
