For hobbyists wanting crisper drivetrain action, the Tamiya 42381 sealed ball bearings bring smoother, lower-friction rotation. They suit various duties, especially in the gearbox area of M-chassis kits where compact 730 size bearings are commonly used.
Compared with metal-shielded types, the blue rubber seals keep grit out and make routine servicing simpler. This sealing helps the bearing races stay cleaner so parts last longer between overhauls.
Inspect bearings after heavy impacts or rough runs and top up lubrication with a low-viscosity oil to preserve free spin. Small periodic checks and light lubrication will maintain smooth rolling and reliable performance.
