Here you go GOOD bearings for .90 cents each when you buy theme by the 10 pack. I believe they are the same size as most others 5x10. Best place on the east cost to buy RC stuff. They have a section just for Losi bearings.

I'm in the same boat. For some reason, I'm changing bearings rather frequently and I don't know why. My mesh (which is usually the cause for premature failure) seems ok. So I don't know what's going on. But Carolina's is a good bet for bearings. And notice how there's is specific category for "Losi Bearings"? That's because Losi finds it necessary to use proprietary sizes for everything! Makes me nuts. Anyway, the outer clutch bearing is 5x10 (like most others) but the inner bearing is 5x13. Same with the hub bearings. The outer bearing is smaller than the inner bearing and I don't think either one of those are common sizes.

Thanks all for your help , I have ordered bearings from caralina rc. They are on the way & you all saved me alot of $ As for the OS VG, so far so good, I love it, we have a real tight track here & it is doing great, good powerband & holds a tune very well. Time will tell only 1 gal. ran through it so far but very happy, I,m a novice racer, (club stuff) but for the price & performance I would recomend this engine, It seems to complement my 8ight, as I can stay in the throtle longer & let the buggy work, before I think I just had too much power, when my driving skills get better I might change but for now the OS helped me gain 2 seconds on my lap times <<.... THANKS AGAIN
