You have to use regular (non-flanged) 5x11x4mm bearings.

The teflon spacers are to take up the slack that you will get due to the different axle lengths between the Rustler and 4-Tec.

If you do this mod I would recommend aluminum carriers for the 4-Tec as the plastic ones you linked are not made to handle the rigors of off-road. I broke my fair share of them before I realized this.
