If it's just the balls, one "trick" you might also try is using is putting some Tamiya Fluorine coating fluid on the bearing balls. They won't be as smooth as the Ceramic balls, but it will be as close as you can get without actually having Ceramic balls. Back to building my USGT car.
Yep. I've been using Kyosho's kingpin oil on my bearings. It's fluorine so it dries a bit and doesn't attract dirt and crud like oil.
