Tamiya 94386 AO-1008 830 bearing pair for Mini 4WD

The Tamiya 94386 AO-1008 830 Bearing set replaces stock plastic bushings to deliver smoother axle spin and lower rolling resistance. These parts are a simple, effective way to refine the drivetrain behavior on Mini 4WD models aimed at improved lap consistency.

Role and chassis fit

These bearings reduce contact friction between the wheel axles and the chassis mounting points. That friction drop helps the motor deliver power more efficiently. They suit a broad range of Tamiya Mini 4WD platforms, making them a reliable swap for many MS and MA style chassis layouts.

How they affect track performance

Fitting the bearings helps maintain steady axle rotation through corners and straights, which can stabilise speed on twisty sections and maintain momentum over long runs. For racers focused on consistent lap times, this upgrade improves drivetrain smoothness without major setup changes.

Easy installation notes

Installing the Tamiya 94386 AO-1008 830 Bearings is straightforward and requires only basic tools. They press into the designated bushing seats and replace the original bushings with no cutting or modifications, making them suitable for hobbyists at any skill level.

Yes. The bearings are compatible with MS chassis and many other Tamiya Mini 4WD layouts that use axle bushings. They are commonly used as a direct drop-in for those setups.
A small amount of light silicone or PTFE lubricant can help initial break-in, but avoid heavy grease which increases drag. Many racers run them dry after a brief bedding-in period.
They offer lower friction than plastic bushings and are suitable for moderate to high speed tuning. For extreme high rpm applications check axle tolerances and wheel balance to avoid vibration issues.
