Are you sure on this? I have some hodge podge chassis's so not sure, but I was under the impression that the original 1.0 811 (be and nitro) used the same rear uprights and front hubs, and the 2.0 has the larger bearings. On the rear you can tell based on the mounts (or lack of) for the wheel cleaners (2.0 has them). The 811be had some V2 parts, but not to be confused with 2.0 parts, and I thought the bearings changed with the 2.0.
I could very well be wrong.
Nope, the larger 8x16 outdrive bearings and V3 center driveline were first used on the original Be before they ever hit the Nitro car. Yes, some of the plastic has changed since then but the question was about bearings. Remember the electric car came quite a bit after the nitro car, like a year. The Version 2 electric car was just the rear end update mainly.
