The kit also contains two 8x19x6 rubber-sealed bearings used in the outer hub / wheel-support positions.
Front Differential Bearing Locations
The front differential and its input/pinion assembly use 8x16x5 rubber-sealed bearings.
Front Differential
- 2 × 8x16x5 — differential support
Front Differential Input / Pinion
- 2 × 8x16x5 — input/pinion shaft support
Rear Differential Bearing Locations
The rear differential uses the same 8x16x5 rubber-sealed bearings.
Rear Differential
- 2 × 8x16x5 — differential support
Rear Differential Input / Pinion
- 2 × 8x16x5 — input/pinion shaft support
Center Differential and Driveline Bearing Locations
The center differential uses another two 8x16x5 rubber-sealed bearings.
Center Differential
- 2 × 8x16x5
The center driveline also uses two 5x11x4 rubber-sealed bearings.
Center Driveline / Input-Output Supports

When Should Kraton 6S BLX Bearings Be Replaced?
The Kraton 6S BLX is built for high-power bashing, and its bearings can experience substantial loads from acceleration, large tires, hard landings, dirt, dust, and moisture.
Inspect the bearings whenever you service the hubs or drivetrain. Roughness, binding, excessive play, noise, damaged seals, rust, or visible contamination are all reasons to inspect or replace a bearing.
If several bearings are worn, a complete replacement can save time compared with repeatedly disassembling the truck as additional bearings fail.
Complete Kit or Individual Bearings?
For a complete rebuild, the FastEddy Bearings TFE2628 Kraton 6S BLX Sealed Bearing Kit provides all 22 bearings together.
For replacements and toolbox spares, FastEddy Bearings also offers the individual sizes:
- 5x11x4 Rubber-Sealed Bearings — 10 Pack
- 6x10x3 Rubber-Sealed Bearings — 10 Pack

Important Kraton Version Note
This guide is specifically for the FastEddy TFE2628 ARRMA Kraton 6S BLX Sealed Bearing Kit. FastEddy Bearings also offers separate bearing kits for other Kraton versions because ARRMA has changed bearing specifications across different generations and configurations.
If you have a V5, V6, EXB, or EXB V6, verify your exact model before ordering a bearing kit.
For example, the V6 ARA8608V6 uses four 15x24x5 bearings in place of the four 15x21x4 bearings used in the TFE2628 configuration.

Final Thoughts
The ARRMA Kraton 6S BLX puts enormous loads on its steering, wheel hubs, differentials, and center drivetrain. Keeping the bearings in good condition helps the drivetrain rotate smoothly and protects the surrounding shafts, gears, and hub components.
The FastEddy Bearings TFE2628 Kraton 6S BLX Sealed Bearing Kit provides all 22 bearings for the configuration covered by this guide.
Knowing exactly where each bearing belongs makes a full rebuild much easier. FastEddy Bearings also makes it easy to keep replacement bearings on hand with individual 5x11x4 10-packs, 6x10x3 10-packs, 8x16x5 10-packs, 8x19x6 10-packs, and 15x21x4 10-packs.
With a complete model-specific FastEddy Bearings kit, there is no measuring old bearings, no searching for individual sizes, and no guesswork required.
