Optimised full ball bearing set for GT-01 chassis

This full ball bearing set is an aftermarket accessory made for the Tamiya GT-01 chassis and its standard bearing locations. It provides replacement bearings to reduce rolling resistance at drivetrain contact points, aiming for smoother rotation and more consistent component response during club runs or track sessions.

In setup and tuning the upgrade is practical: replacing worn bushes or rough bearings with sealed ball bearings reduces friction losses, which helps throttle and steering inputs feel more direct. Treat bearings as one element of driveline efficiency so suspension and power delivery changes react more predictably under load.

Installation is straightforward: remove the old bearing or bushing, clean the seat, press the new bearing square into place, and confirm there is no side play and that the bearing spins freely before final assembly. Regular inspection and light maintenance will prolong service life and keep behaviour consistent.

They are specified for the GT-01 layout; to check other models, compare the bearing inner and outer diameters with the target chassis before buying.
Inspect for play or roughness, clean mounting bores before fitting, ensure bearings rotate freely after installation, and replace any unit that feels gritty or loose.
Yes, reduced rolling resistance can alter how the driveline transfers power and how the car reacts; re-check balance and handling after fitting and adjust setup as needed.
