For hobbyists wanting to swap plastic bushings for ball bearings, the Tamiya 54579 kit is a practical choice. The set supplies 16 1150 ball bearings to help cut drivetrain friction and lengthen the life of axle joints without a major rebuild.
The Tamiya 54579 ball bearing set is compatible with several common Tamiya layouts. It suits DT-03 and DT-02 chassis (which typically use 14 bearings), and covers WR-02, WR-02G and WT-01 variants that require 16 bearings, making it useful for mixed fleets.
Switching to ball bearings reduces rotational drag in the drivetrain, which keeps components running cooler and preserves speed and responsiveness. That makes these bearings a sensible upgrade for regular club runs or weekend bashing.
