Default What bearings to order for CR-01?

Hi everyone. I've got a CR-01 unimog on order, but want to ballrace it during build time. There's a site in the UK that does individual ballraces very cheaply, but I need to know what ones are required ?

The options are:

BEA840 Loose 840 Sized Ballraces (each) (NB fits very few models) £1.25
BEA850 Loose 850 Sized Ballraces (each) £0.50
BEA1050 Loose 1050 Sized Ballraces (each) (NB fits very few models) £1.25
BEA1150 Loose 1150 Sized Ballraces (each) £0.50
BEA1260 Loose 1260 Sized Ballraces (each) £0.60
BEA1280 Loose 1280 Sized Ballraces (each) £0.70
BEA1510 Loose 1510 Sized Ballraces (each)

What for? Everything that moves, already has shielded bearings in it.

x2 - the cr01 kits come with full bearings already why replace them before you need to?

Every tamiya kit I have built ever has those brass bushings instead of ballraces? I know I am making an assumption here, but I just assumed that Tamiya would keep the Ball Bearing kit as a "hop-up" option?

So there's no brass bushings used, everything's ballraced? If so, that's really good! There's people selling bearing kits on ebay for £20 / $30, so I guess that's why I figured I'd need to buy them.

Thanks.

People always sell bearings on ebay for anything, even if it already has bearings. You don't need them with CR01 kit, tamiya does include them sometimes.
