Precision Bearing Upgrade for TB-01 Chassis

RC builders wanting a dependable drivetrain improvement will find the Tamiya 53398 Ball Bearing Set an easy swap for the TB-01. The kit replaces plastic bushings with sealed ball bearings to cut friction and help parts last longer.

Performance Benefits of Bearings

Ball bearings lower resistance at rotating points, resulting in smoother drivetrain rotation and crisper throttle response. The reduced friction also lessens wear on gears and shafts, which is useful for frequent track runs or local practice sessions.

Fitting and Care Advice

Installing the Tamiya 53398 Ball Bearing Set only needs basic tools; clean mounting areas before fitting to avoid trapping grit. Press each bearing evenly for a snug fit and check for free rotation after assembly to ensure correct installation.

This set is made for the TB-01 geometry but can fit other models with matching bearing bores and shaft sizes. Always compare measurements before fitting.
Most sealed bearings arrive pre-lubricated. Minimal maintenance is required, but occasional cleaning and light bearing oil will keep them running smoothly.
Reducing friction can yield a small efficiency gain and crisper acceleration, which may translate to a modest top speed improvement depending on setup and conditions.
