these guys are quick!!!! The 710 kit doesn't include the centax bearings. They didn't say if the kit contains the loose ball bearings for the diff - just checking.

What about the small bearings in the ball diff itself (not referring to the loose balls)? Are they included?
Anyway, Acer sells the 4 mm ceramic nitride pro balls (10 pieces) for USD 12.99.

How about Boca?

Boca sells these SMR105C-ZZ #3 -53 or SMR105C-ZZ #3 -59 bearings for USD 17.95 ! Ouch !
I think neither has the ceramic thrust bearings.

Ask bbntc3. I think he used this on his kFactory Centax of the NTC3. I think he likes it very much. I believe they use the same thrust bearing size as the one used in Centax 3.

No driving this weekend and it looks like rain today, so I probably can't get to the track :-( It's quite a few weeks now that I haven't been able to run Looks like the earliest I can run will be the 21st :-(
