Smooth upgrades for Tamiya formula chassis

Made for Tamiya F101, F102, and F103 frames, the Tamiya 53158 Ball Bearing Set is a direct-fit upgrade that reduces mechanical drag in RC Formula and Indy cars. These stainless steel bearings are built to run freely under load and the rubber shields help block grit for longer service life.

Will these bearings fit other Tamiya models?

They are specified for the F101, F102 and F103 chassis. While some parts may fit other Tamiya kits, compatibility is not guaranteed and you should check shaft sizes before swapping them in.

How do the rubber shields affect maintenance?

Rubber shields keep out dust and liquid which reduces cleaning frequency, though periodic inspection and relubrication will still extend bearing life.

Should I change oils or grease when installing these bearings?

If the bearings arrive lubricated they can be used as supplied, but many racers clean and apply a lightweight bearing oil for optimal high-speed response.
