One down, two to go....... Gotta hand it to ya fellas; the boys ripping these down, and rebuilding them consistently, my hats off to you! ?
This takes a lot of time & effort to complete a full extraction of old bearings and installation of new Eddy’s, along with a nice deep clean.
Man...... my old bearings were eff’d.

It does take time, but your rigs will be better and you will gain a lot of knowledge on how they go together. I gained a lot of understanding by just tearing them apart and doing diffs, bearings etc. what else do you do when it’s raining?
I completely agree...However, I had done diffs, shocks, bumpers, pinions, chassis braces, wing-mounts, servo mounts and t2t braces and on and on... and felt quite knowledgeable on these rigs. A complete strip and rebuild, is next level, which some of these boys do it with ease. Hat is still off fellas!

Try Fast Eddys. They are posted in the vendor forum.
 
I bought some Fast Eddies bearings for my new Kraton a month ago. Still haven't installed them. Kind of waiting on new diff fluid to arrive (to do it all at once) and Im noticing the older I get I tend to do a little hibernating in the winter. No big withdrawals from not bashing or flying when its 10 frikkin degrees out.

Ya i hear ya there it was 0 or - 20 C this morning but ya...
 
Notorious J is spot on, the FastEddy's cover all of the bearings.

Me too Tom..... I don't fly or bash during the winter months. There is nothing good that comes from the cold, water and salt for my RC's. However, it's an essential time to get a lot of needed maintenance completed on them.
 
If fast Eddie would color their seals I would buy them.....sounds silly, but I like that my avids are yellow , it lets me remember which rigs have new or newer bearings. I have several Arrma rigs. Put it this way, I just did bearings,pinions, shocks,crowns,and suns, on all my rigs,I was at 640$ in parts including 2 new 50c 5200 lipo's. But still, its alot.
 
2 down, one to go!

This is the V1 Outcast........ complete strip, Fast Eddy’s , Kraton V3 shocks installed and a much needed deep clean. This one has been to hell and back, and cleaned up not too bad.
And yes, a V1 with the original stock servo...... set those endpoints fellas.
