You can get those bearings cheaper at www.avidrc.com. They're ceramic too.

This is a good place for this. I've been cleaning my bodies with a sponge and Pledge furniture polish, I scrub the body rubbing hard with a liberal amount let it dry and buff with a soft cloth or paper towel. I was amazed at how it cleaned and polished a body that's seen hard use.
