Hi all I have Tamiya KV and Kv2 kits I intend to start building soon. Wondering if anyone has replaced the wheel bushes with bearings and if so what did you do and what sizes did you use.
Are there any other upgrades you would recommend, Please don't say say metal tracks as these are as rare as gold hens teeth.

:) Hello,
To answer your question? you must already know the dimensions of the existing bronze rings, and look on bearing sales sites or on the bay

I have done the bearing upgrade to my Tamiya KV-2. I'd have to get back to you when I get off work on the bearing size though as I don't remember off the top of my head which ones they are.
