Precision Bearing Upgrade for Tamiya TGX

For RC builders aiming to refine their Tamiya TGX setups, the Tamiya 53196 Wheel Axle Ball Bearing Set replaces the stock bushings with precision bearings to deliver smoother wheel spin and steadier handling. The swap yields a noticeable reduction in friction and more consistent performance on both practice runs and club sessions.

Benefits of Ball Bearings

Moving from bushings to ball bearings lowers rolling resistance and heat at the axle, improving drivetrain efficiency and cutting down component wear. Expect freer wheel rotation, less drag, and longer service life for axle parts.

Quick Installation Guide

Fitting the Tamiya 53196 Wheel Axle Ball Bearing Set is straightforward with basic tools. Clean the TGX wheel hubs and axle areas first, remove the old bushings, and press the new bearings in squarely to avoid misalignment.

Suitable Uses and Fitment

This bearing kit is aimed at the Tamiya TGX family and suits models using the standard wheel axle bushings. It is a practical upgrade for everyday driving, tuning sessions, or light competitive use where reliability matters.

The set is made for Tamiya TGX models that use the standard wheel axle bushings; check that your TGX has the same axle bore before fitting.
Basic hobby tools will do: a small driver or bearing press, a pair of pliers, and a clean workspace. Press bearings in square to avoid damage.
Inspect bearings after muddy or wet runs and during regular maintenance. Light cleaning and relubrication will extend life depending on usage.
