Overview and purpose

This full ball bearing set is intended for use with the TAMIYA CR01 chassis and is supplied as an aftermarket bearing pack. The kit replaces plain bushings and fixed-fit components in the drivetrain and wheel hubs with running bearings to reduce friction and improve smoothness in scale crawling and technical off-road driving.

The set is marketed as a maintenance and tune-up item rather than a chassis geometry change. Fitted bearings reduce rotating resistance across shafts and axles, lower rolling drag on wheels, and help drivetrain parts run cooler during long, slow crawls or steep technical sections.

Installation notes: remove existing bushings or pressed-in bearings carefully, inspect each bearing seat for proper fit and axial play, and apply light bearing oil or thin grease as recommended by your bearing supplier. After fitting, recheck pinion to spur clearance and confirm wheel hex fitment and axle preload stay within CR01 tolerances.

Specifications

For owners who want reduced drivetrain drag and steadier rotating assemblies, this BS-CR01/V1 bearing set gives a direct replacement path; follow normal bearing care and fitment checks to preserve reliability.

By replacing sliding bushings with running bearings you reduce internal drag and rolling resistance, which makes low-speed control smoother and can slightly improve battery or motor temperature under long crawls.
Use a proper press or bearing driver when possible to seat races squarely; gentle tapping with a driver is acceptable for small bearings but avoid hammering on the inner race.
Light bearing oil or a thin synthetic grease tuned for low-speed loads works well; avoid heavy greases that can increase drag in slow technical sections.
They do not require different gearing, but the reduced drivetrain drag may slightly alter load on the motor; verify temperatures and behaviour on a test run after installation.
