  i know that the front ones are 2mm inner, and the rears are 3mm inner.
  
  Just get an idea from the plastic bushings.

  I reckon bb’s are the way to go, my plastic bushings have way to much play, and i havent lubed them cause lube + dirt = :S

  mini-zracer.com were advertising some dry lubed ball bearings a while ago…
  
  I’ve just got some topcad or rcrm ones, but they were a while ago, so I can’t really remember…

  i have the MZR dry race bearings, (7 in a set. as the wheel oposite the diff is locked to the axle, thus no bearing required.) front wheel spins for 20 odd seconds witth a flick of the finger, so smooth so quite, you cant go wrong.
  i also have the ceramic diff balls for Ball bearing diffs, and it makes your diff heaps smoother, (will not work with stock diff) and faster.
  should be one of the first upgrades you do.

  yeh bb’s are an essential mod (yours should be there any day jamie).
  
  Not sure of the measurements, probably just better off to get them from topcad, etc especially for mini z and u cant go wrong !

  Okie, I answered my own question… 🙂
  
  After doing enough donuts on the coffee table with the new arrival I pulled it apart and threw the calipers at it. There are 4 pcs in the wheels of 6x2mm and the 3 in the rear axle are 6x3mm – total 7.
  
  What’s the best contact for Bit CharG Oz? :blush:
