I don’t recall all of the bearing sizes, but the manual should list all of the bushing sizes, which would be the same dimensions for the replacement bearings. I believe I bought my bearings as a “package deal” off of a seller on ebay who packaged up different bearings collections for specific Tamiya cars. I just did a search for “xr311 bearings” and didn’t find any listings, but I saw listings for Sand Scorcher bearings. Maybe contact one of these sellers and see if they can package up an XR311 collection for you.

Nice site and nice car!

Bought one of these yesterday, a re-re car, and plan to put in ball bearings. You dont happen to remember the sizes and numbers of bearings used? Tried to disassemble the car last night but didnt come too far…

best regards

Martin

Hi!
Great looking xr311. What colour did you use to spray it? It looks great. I’m ‘doing’ one at the moment.
Keep up the good work with the site. I love reading it at work!
Cheers, Alan

Try calling Tamiya to see if they have any in stock for the re-re’s. If not, ebay is your best bet. You can also try the uber Tamiya fan site, Tamiyaclub.com and post a WANTED ad. Come to think of it, you can also post a wanted ad on ebay.

Hello thank you for your reply, luckly the ones i got on mine are not broken yet i was looking more into the future when they do. I shell give tamiya a try and see if the car or parts are still listed.

Where to find the suspension is a tough question to answer because it’s not something that sold as a package. You’d probably have to piece it together from parts. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Cheetah to do a direct comparison of suspension parts. It seems that the only weak link in the Cheetah suspension is the plastic torsion bars. How about seeing if you can pick up some XR311 metal ones from Tamiya?
