That's weird - I brought a bearing set from my local model shop, because it had the right size ball race for my RC12... which had a tendency of throwing off its front wheels (only held on with an e-clip) which often mean't that you lost a bearing out of the wall also. That set was for the RC10 buggy & it sat in my toolbox right up until I received my first Gold Pan back in 2009 - this was a basic kit model with bushes... so the bearings suddenly had a use

Since then I've collected old buggies & parts... so much so that if I'm doing a build & need an odd screw or small part... its quite often that I've got said part in one of the many boxes/tubs cluttering up my workbench!
