You want rubber shielded bearings. Stock are metal shielded and they don’t like water at all.Are the stock bearings good bearings that can get wet for cleaning or will I need to get better ones ?
Good set. When you open the pack, there are 4 really small bearings. Those are for the steering posts.Will these work on the 2019 Kraton v4
Yes. The changes on the V4 don't affect to many things. Difs, axles, suspension, and a host of other things remain the same.So these will work for the v4 ??
Am I good to spray my duck off with water then luv all the spots that need it .. I don’t have an air chuckYes. The changes on the V4 don't affect to many things. Difs, axles, suspension, and a host of other things remain the same.
Yes, ducks love water!Am I good to spray my duck off with water then luv all the spots that need it .. I don’t have an air chuck
I find Teflon based bike chain lube to be a good option for a lube as it is designed to stay on things that move and not to attract dirt.Yes, ducks love water!
But seriously, if you spray it off with water, use WD-40 on the bearings and other metal parts. After the WD-40 dries follow it with a dry lube spray as @Brandon said. WD-40 makes a dry lube that works pretty well.
Sorry about the spelling guys my phone auto corrects .. this is the spray I bought supposed to be good . So should I do wd 40 first then wipe off and spray with this . Or just use this ?Yes, ducks love water!

That is exactly what I was talking about.Sorry about the spelling guys my phone auto corrects .. this is the spray I bought supposed to be good . So should I do wd 40 first then wipe off and spray with this . Or just use this ?
I would use the blow drier, anything to help get the water off of it.Is it ok that I don’t have an air chuck .. just let it self dry or would a blow dryer be better than nothing
You can get them wet, just clean then off afterwards, dry them and use a dry lube. You shouldn't leave bearings wet for too long, even sealed ones.Ok so the bearings in my v4 wheels should not get wet? So now I need.to get rubber bearings and buy a spray and grease for then after each run involving dirt/mud?
Thanks so the rubber shielded just last linger were I to miss some water? I so have a compressorYou can get them wet, just clean then off afterwards, dry them and use a dry lube. You shouldn't leave bearings wet for too long, even sealed ones.
Yes, the rubber seal keeps dirt out, so they last longer. The metal shielded stock bearings don't do a very good job if you ride it around in dirt or sand.Thanks so the rubber shielded just last linger were I to miss some water? I so have a compressor

Thank you for this! I have a set on the way so this will be very helpful.Buy them from Fast Eddy's: https://www.fasteddybearings.com/arrma-kraton-blx-sealed-bearing-kit/

(2) 8x19x6 - one in the inside of the front and rear diff bulkhead (2)
(4) 15x21x4 - one in the inside of each wheel hub

These small bearings replace the bushings in the bellcrank and servo saver hub.
You will be removing these: View attachment 35106
Two are found in the top and bottom of steering bellcrank:

The other two are in the top and bottom of the servo saver hub:

When you pull off the steering assembly, sometimes the bottom bushings will get stuck on the steering posts.

Hope this helps. And I will be honest with you. I use Fast Eddy rubber shielded bearings and I never clean them or even dry them with a compressor after I get them wet. They have lasted for months. I do check them periodically and just replace them when they feel gritty. As fas as actually seizing, I have had about 4 seize out of the 6 Arrma trucks that I run. Obviously drying them is a good thing. I am just too lazy.
