Default steering/ rolling upgrades?

I've heard conflicting stories that the Tmaxx 2.4/3.3 use all bearings in the steering setup,. Is this true? Or is there an upgrade that can be done to help the steering move smoother/easier. Also what kind of upgrades can you do to help the wheels spin easier such as ball bearings? I have an upgraded steering servo as it isand I keep my hubs as clean as I can so that the wheels don't have any extra friction from dirt but i'm just wondering if there's something better that will help me steer/ move easier and my wheels spin longer with less force?

The .15 2.5, and old 3.3 maxx uses bushings. To you replace them you will need 4 5x8 bearings. Check your bellcrank posts because the bushings have habit of wearing down the posts. Not sure about the new 3.3 maxx because it uses a totally different steering setup.
