Questions & Answers
Bushings are plastic rings that go where the bearings go on a stock Latrax rally (or other Latrax vehicles). One of the advantages of LaTrax vehicles is that they are inexpensive (in terms of price, not quality), entry-level, hobby-grade vehicles with a lot of upgrade potential. It's not stock if your LaTrax have actual bearings.
Yes, the sizes and quantities are identical to those found in the Factory kit. If you haven't already done so, you'll be replacing the stock plastic bushings with ball bearings.
They are fully sealed bearings, so you don't have to worry about that. They will simply leak out if the blue seal is broken. They last a long time; I've had mine for over a year and they're still running 3s at 40mph.
It's a complete package for a vehicle that came out of the factory with no modifications.

These tiny bearings were exactly what my Latrax required, and I'll be looking for more reasons to use TRB bearings in my other vehicles. Wonderful items! Invest in some of these for yourself and your vehicles. He's a great guy, and he works for a great firm.
These bearings are excellent quality and perform admirably. I highly recommend trb bearings to anyone involved in the RC hobby. I use them and they are excellent. Give trb a try, they are a good RC product and the owner is a great guy. I emailed him with a question and received a prompt response and excellent advice. The owner, as far as I can tell, is an RC enthusiast, so his heart is in this product.
I stripped two plastic stock gears on my Teton, so I got this as an upgrade, and so far so good, just a little more noise. Make sure you grease or lube it up, and tighten your pinion gear well, mine came loose on the first run, easy to install, there's a traxxas video that shows how to do it.
These bearings significantly improved the performance of my LaTrax Rally! It appears to be much faster and more responsive. After less than a month of heavy use, the stock bushings began to wear out. I really wish the LaTrax Rally had bearings like these out of the box. The stickers that came with the package were an added bonus.
Although it isn't the best I've ever owned, it is a fantastic kit that fits perfectly in the LaTrax!.
I was surprised at how worn the bushings were despite only running four times. It took me about an hour and a half to complete the installation. This rally is the faster of the two that I have. It's not faster, but it's a lot more pleasant to use. It's a must-have for the rally; I'm not sure why it didn't come with bearings, but I love them.
If you've got a la trax, you're in luck. Then you'll have to go out and purchase these. Plastic bushings come standard on the La Trax, which make it difficult to keep straight once they wear out. (Wobbly). These bearings are available for purchase. They're required for all of these automobiles. I'm not sure why Traxxas didn't use them to begin with.
In comparison to stock bushings, this is a huge improvement. Faster acceleration, higher top speed, much quieter operation, much cooler motor and battery temperatures, and much longer battery life; well worth the money. This should be the first upgrade for any Latrax owner!.
