You need the 1680, 1150, 850, 830 and 620 ball bearings.
1680 ball bearings for diffs are standard on Vanquish, but they maybe need to be replaced?
Check that the wheel axles are ok. Might be a bit worn, Vanquish has metal bearings as standard.

You can find them on ebay, for example:
Tamiya 50315 620 Ball Bearing Set
Tamiya 50352 830 Ball Bearings Set
Tamiya 53030 850 Sealed Ball Bearing Set
Tamiya 53007 1680 Sealed Bearing Set
Tamiya 53029 1150 Sealed Ball Bearing Set

You can probably find cheaper options than the Tamiya sealed ones.

Can also search for Avante ball bearings or Egress etc.

If youre never going to run it then putting bearings in it seems like throwing money into the trash can to me.
