To do what? They're MUCH bigger than any of the ball bearings on an RC car.

Yes, fully 'ball-racing' (that's what the process of fitting ball bearings is called) a car will make it much faster, and more efficient on the batteries, but it's HIGHLY unusual these days for a car to be supplied without them. If your model is that old, then I would suggest you may no longer be able to get such things. Your only option would be to take out the bushings that are there in place of the bearings and measure them, then order the right size from your local hardware or hobby shop, assuming they aren't the same as some other car, which they may be if you're lucky. Best thing to do is take it down to your local hobby shop and ask them what your options are.

You seem to be very new to this, so I would suggest going and meeting someone locally who knows about these things (perhaps at the local hobby store). It's always easier to explain things in person.

You can order bearings online from www.bocabearings.com, but you may be surprised how much a full set will cost you. It may not be worth it. I suggest you buy that FW05R you were talking about, that is already fully ball-raced.
