Performance Bearings for the Tamiya M-05

The Tamiya 54179 Ball Bearing Set is a straightforward replacement for the factory bushings on the M-05 chassis, lowering rotational resistance and helping parts run cooler for longer service life.

Sensible Upgrade for Rolling Efficiency

This kit supplies six 850 ball bearings and twelve 1150 ball bearings to cover the typical axle and pivot points used on the M-05. Replacing worn bushings with these bearings improves wheel spin and gives more predictable handling on track and pavement.

Why Swap to Ball Bearings

Ball bearings reduce drag compared to plain bushings, which can improve acceleration response and reduce wear on shafts and gears when bearings are cleaned and lubricated periodically.

Will these bearings fit every M-05 variant?

The bearings in the 54179 set are intended for the M-05 chassis layout. If your model has aftermarket modifications, check measurement points before fitting to ensure correct placement.

What is the recommended installation approach?

Remove the old bushings, clean housing bores, and press the bearings in squarely. Use a bearing driver or a socket that matches the outer race to avoid stress on the bearing.

How should I maintain these bearings?

Inspect bearings regularly, blow out debris and apply a light bearing oil or lubricant as needed. Well maintained bearings preserve speed and reduce wear on mating parts.
