Thrust bearing sizes?
 
Guys, I've got some carbide 5/64 thrust bearings laying around that I want to swap out in my B-max4 diffs. I read in one of the posts here that the original are 2mm (metric). 2mm is about right, but still almost 1% off... Am I splitting hairs here? Will these bearings be OK in the diff? Or should I find some metric 2mm balls instead for them? I know tolerances on these bearings are tight, so I'm a bit worried about not putting exactly the same thing back in...

Any feedback to calm my nerves would be welcome!

Thanks!:thumbsup:

Well I contacted Tim at RC Race and Drift in Japan, and he confirmed that the main diff balls are 3/32 and the Thrust balls are 1/16! Not 2mm!!!!:woot: I don't remember who suggested 2mm, but apparently that's not it at all...

So that settles that I guess...:yawn:

its funny how a metric car has imperial size diff/thrust balls.

can get confusing sometimes.
