Default Are Ball Bearings Worth It?

Well, in the quest for speed I am constantly looking for modifications to make my Rustler faster. As of right now, I put a Velineon brushless system in it, with an 8 cell battery powering it. Currently, my top speed is about 45mph.


So, now to my question. Is it worth it for me to install ball bearings in the car to improve the cars speed? If so, how much will the ball bearings really improve my speed?


Here's the bearings I am looking at. I am going to be running on pavement so they should be perfect. Any feedback is appreciated.
