Hey guys,
First of all, I just want to thank Team Corally for standardising on bearings, the Kronos uses just two different size bearings, 6x10x3 for the steering, and then the entire drivetrain uses 8x16x5. Which I think is awesome! My Traxxas MAXX for example uses 6 different size bearings all over.
The TC bearings are part number C-3611-3-08-16-05 and they cost around €5, which is not terrible, about half of what TRX bearings would cost, but still if you want to replace all bearings we're talking €50!!! So, I've found this very nice bearings on Aliexpress which are ABEC3, same specification as the stock ones and to be honest I think they're probably the exact same ones (just different seal colour). Also, they arrived very quickly, just over two weeks to Ireland. And, it's only be around €16 to replace all 20 bearings in the drivetrain.
Anyway, thought I'd share here as it might help others.
