Slipper clutch bearing help

[Wraith]

Hi so I am some what new to the hobby and need help finding information on the Losi lst xxl (nitro) two speed slipper clutch bearing as it is the only part that I have been unable to find any information on. If anyone has knowledge and/or suggestions for/of this part I would be very grateful.

@Greywolf74 is the LST guru here. He can possibly help you out.

Bearings are sold by IDxODxThickness
So your bearing is a 3x8x?

Your bearing is technically not a bearing. That is a bearing retainer. When purchasing bearings, you don't have to search for bearings per your RC model. RC markup on screws and bearings is ridiculous. Bearings are standardized throughout various industries. So I would measure the diameter of the balls, and search for a "3x8x?(ball size here) bearing retainer".

Well, technically, his is just the bearing retainer portion of a thrust bearing. Typical thrust bearings will have a top and bottom cover with ball grooves machined into the faces that contact the balls. His just has washers on either side of the bearing retainer.

The shaft actually measures 3mm according to Greywolf. Those you linked are 3.5mm. The 3mm one I linked should fit just fine. Grey bought a couple, and said he would test fit them when they arrive and reply back.

see I see the 3.5 as its thickness.not shaft size.but then again..lol

Ok, I would like to restate the part in my post about me being fairly new to the hobby so I apologize if I am UNSURE on HOW and WHERE I would find this part so excuse me for not having the knowledge of some one who has experience and knows exactly how, what and, where to look.

Greywolf bought some of the bearings that I linked from Amazon. He will get to testing fitment today and get back with you. He's currently testing a 3d print I designed for him.

I'm sorry, I've been meaning to report back for a week and I keep forgetting. Those thrust bearings work perfectly. Personally, I would use one of the races that comes with it on the outside of the shaft, since the stock one isn't grooved. Probably doesn't matter, but that's what I would do.

Yeah, you're right. I read that wrong for some reason.
