Knight Hauler "full Option" Kit....

[Wandy 1527]

Finally, I am getting round to building my full option Hauler....but from the looks of things the kit does not come supplied with ballraces?

I've barely looked at the kit components...lazy I know...and had a brief look at the manual and have seen "metal bearings" shown, but these dont seem to be ball bearings.

Do I need to buy a ballrace kit?

as far as Im aware none of the tamiya tractor truck kits come balraced. neither our Merc 1850L or Knight hauler where ballraced tho there where brushings in key areas like the axles and gearbox. to be fair tho u dnt really need bearings unless u are going to be running it really regularly as the loads and run speeds are no where near as high as those of a normal runner/racer.

Thanks. I think I will just buy a ballrace kit for it to be on the safe side though.

Bearings are so dirt cheap that you would be foolish not to install them. To answer your question, No. Even the full option rigs do not come with bearings.
