Don't know the exact size, I'm sure Sosidge or DCM will. I think they are 8mm outer/5mm inner diameter. Just ask your model bearing supplier for four "Tamiya 850" bearings though 'cos that's what they are.

Found some really posh ones on the website for Far Eastern shop under Tamiya part number TA-42111. Pukka TRF flourine sealed ones but you only get 2 and they are $5.95 a pack. I got mine from a bearing supplier on fleabay - just type in 850 bearing, cost about £8 inc postage for 10.
