Upgrade and Smooth Out Your Tamiya Drive Train

For hands-on RC builders wanting a durable option, the Tamiya 53136 Ball Thrust Bearing replaces the stock nylon thrust with a single precision unit to reduce friction and extend service life.

Top Benefits of the Tamiya 53136 Ball Thrust Bearing

  • Precision Assembly: Machined ball and race components give consistent rotation and a noticeable reduction in drivetrain play compared to nylon parts.
  • Complete Replacement Kit: Supplied with the thrust ball assembly, two thrust washers, and an internal brass spacer for a straightforward swap.
  • Wide Model Fit: Fits a range of Tamiya kits, including classic and modern race car models like the Ferrari F189, Honda NSX, and McLaren MP4/6.
Remove the original nylon thrust stack, check shaft and housing for wear, then install the Tamiya 53136 assembly using the included washers and brass spacer so the bearing seats without lateral play.
Yes, a precision ball thrust bearing typically smooths rotation and cuts chatter from worn nylon parts, resulting in quieter operation under load.
Periodically inspect the washers and spacer for corrosion and apply light bearing oil if you notice roughness; avoid over-lubricating to prevent attracting grit.
