I'm about to tear mine down. I would definetly replace all the bearing since you have it apart. It would suck if you don't and a diff bearing goes while racing. I'm going to clean out the diffs and inspect and refill. The same thing with the shocks. Then like you said replace any worn out part or cracked parts.
Edit: Nevermind i found the FT set on Amain for 79.99.. I assume those are the stock bearings...

I bought my bearings from Boca. They have different sets of bearings to choose form for a bunch brands. I went the $1 a bearing route. Any bearing that is exposed is going to go bad. If you are going to spen the money I would do it on the F/R diffs. They are protected. I also got my engine bearing from the also and I did spend a little more on those.

Could anyone give me a list of all the parts that are different on the CE? Right now I have the FT and I am upgrading it. I already have the ABCD plates done, steering mod, updated radio tray, big bore shocks, punisher body. What else is different?

Okay guys I need some advice. I'm also getting ready to change my diff and shock fluids. I run at Hobby Hut which tends to be very dry, dusty and slick. I was wondering what diff fluids would be best for this type of track. Also this past season it was really rough towards the end of the season. Last season I started with 7-7-7. Then I changed the rear to 5 to stop the back end from coming around. It seemed to fix the problem. What I'm thinking of doing is 7-10-5. I was thinking of the 10 for the center to stop the front tires from spinning so much. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

hey you might know me i have a "silver dodge nitro" and have a blue and yellow eight-t 1.0 i race at hobby hut last year ?
on my "eight-t 1.0" at least "7/10/3" seemed to work but the rear end still wanted to spin out also sometimes i whould try 2000 in the rear .
try 7/10/3 on the rc8t or 7/10/2 .
im getting a rc8t champ ed also when the hut season starts this year.
