Smooth drivetrain upgrade with Tamiya 54579 bearings

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.

Fits a range of popular Tamiya chassis

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.

Real benefits on track and trail

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.

Light oiling or periodic cleaning with suitable bearing cleaner and fresh oil will keep the 1150 bearings rolling smoothly and extend service life.
Yes. The 1150 bearings reduce friction on drivetrains for both on-road and off-road Tamiya models, though sealed bearings or dust shields may be needed for very dirty conditions.
A small bearing driver or a press is handy but you can also fit them carefully using sockets and even pressure from the chassis parts. Work slowly to avoid damaging races.
