Tamiya Konghead 6x6 bearings question?

[AndyjcClod]

I am excited as I am just about to pre-order my Konghead 6x6  

But befoe I click order I was wondering does anyone know what metal bearings I would need to order for this?

 

I was thinking about possibly ordering a set of bearings for a clod buster or bullhead, anyone think that will be enough?

Don't order a Clodbuster set, they will be the wrong sizes.

The Konghead uses a modified GF-01 chassis, so presumably it will use the same 1150 size bearings. Based on the picture of the gear-train on the box, you will need 36 bearings (24 for the gears, 12 for the axles). Plus two 850 bearings for the steering (four if you go for 4 wheel steering). 

Hope that makes sense.

Beat me to it, I'd concur! ^

Has a release date been announced for 58646?

Couldnt find anything new on tamiya.com; not scheduled on May list so it'll be June or later.
