I used Boca Bearing.
hit the 99 cents each page and pick out your size, shipping is free for more than 12 or so.
Mine (all 18) were under 18 bucks.
You can pick rubber seals both sides, rubber/metal or metal/metal.
I like mine so far and got em in a couple days, nice folks too.

k_bojar,
Which brand of steering rack are you talking about? I have not seen Tamiya's offering, so can offer no comment, however 3Racing do two, one alloy and one CF. Tech racing do a CF and Yeah a alloy steering rack, which is similar to the 3Racing alloy steering rack. Here is a photo of mine 3Racing fitted to my MO5M chassis. Works well and has less slop. I have also included a shot of both my MO5's. The MO5M also has 3Racing MO5 alloy front knuckles and 3Racing steering rod. My MO5L has Tamiya alloy front knuckles, Tamiya motor mount and alloy heat sinks. Both cars are MO5 Pro's.
Regards,
Calvin.

OK, we all know the HPI Switch turned out to be a real dud of a car
(Hence the expression - "My car is a real bucket of Switch")
But...if nothing else they've provided something decent in the way of new bodyshells.
Check out this latest 210mm release from HPI, the stunning Alfa Mito. Oh man do I want one of these.
(Only in complete form at the moment but the bodyshell by itself shouldn't be too far off.)

my bad, calvin - i meant the new setup from Tamiya...Since i plan on running mine in the TSC, i need to have all tamiya parts on the chassis - so as nice as the 3Racing stuff looks, cannot run it

D-Drive Sports sells these decals that can be used on this car.

Since the M05 was first announced, we at rc-mini reckoned that the whole thought process behind the car was mainly just to allow the fitment of lower profile bodyshells.
And...coming soon..

Odd if so, wouldn't have thought tamiya would make a RWD car on a FWD chassis.
