Default where to buy bearings in calgary?

Looking to replace the bearings in a MP40w. Anyone know where to grab bearings here locally, or should I be looking online?

Thanks in advance...

The bearings you need should be available at any hobby shop that deals in RC cars. Try pm hobbycraft up by big als or modelland on 17 ave sw.

The bearings you need are

7mm x 19mm x 6mm

And

8mm x 19mm x 6mm

You need one of each per mp40. Get the rubber shielded ones. They are quieter than the metal shield type.

Good luck.

Perfect, just the information I was googling around for. Think the rubber shielded ones are quieter than the stock ones? I'm hoping for this to be an upgrade rather than a straight swap...

I tried the metal ones cause I had some in my cars spares box. They make a swish noise if they're not oiled often. I'd say the rubber ones made it as quiet as it was when new. I think most of the noise is vibration amplified by the tank glass. That's why I eventually changed to Tunze. No noise!
