Yes. But the V2 diff coupler does use 3 bearings, and has a boot so you can grease them and not worry about dirt working into them (biggest issue, IME).

811-T however does utilizes the ridiculously small 8x14x4 flanged bearings on the outer wheel hubs. I had constant trouble with those on the 811 buggy, no matter what brand or ABEC rating they were. I couldn't imagine how bad they'll be on the truggy with a wheel that's 3x as heavy.
