This is one the more expensive of the upgrade at about $30-$40, but well worth the price. Although I haven't run speed tests, people who have claim a 2-5 mph speed boost. From my perspective the Stampede seems to move noticeably faster and my run times greatly increased. Pretty installation - Buy the front and rear RPM Rustler/Stampede bearing carriers and 8 5x11 bearings, pop in bearings on each side of the RPM bearing carrier, and replace the original stock Stampede Bearing carriers. Remember the order - axel, bearing carrier, little washer, axel post, hub, wheel, nut. Spring for the better quality Duratrax or Traxxas sealed stainless steel bearings (about $20 for 8 - but usually sold individually). They may not have the spin of the shielded bearings, but the environment the Stampede will be subjected to the sealed are a much better choice to keep debris out of the bearings.
