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.

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 Nice site and nice car!

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 Hi!

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.
