Low friction bearings for cleaner Mini 4WD performance

The Tamiya 15523 Low Friction Plastic Bearing Set is aimed at cutting internal resistance in Mini 4WD drive systems. The included bearings cover typical positions where reduced friction yields noticeable gains in responsiveness.

Included bearing styles and compatibility

Low-Friction 620 Plastic Bearings: Best suited to hex shaft axles to lower rolling resistance and stabilise speed through corners.
Low-Friction 520 Plastic Bearings: Intended for counter gears in Mini 4WD PRO cars to help the drivetrain run with less effort.
Compatibility: Compatible with both standard Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO platforms for flexible upgrade options.

Why racers choose low-friction bearings

Adding low-friction bearings can result in smoother acceleration and steadier lap times by reducing mechanical losses. They are an easy-to-install improvement that complements existing tuning work without complex changes.

What does this bearing set contain?

This package contains five Low-Friction 620 Plastic Bearings and two Low-Friction 520 Plastic Bearings, matching common Mini 4WD install points.

Are these suitable for high-speed setups?

They reduce friction in the drivetrain which supports higher speed stability, but should be used alongside proper gearing and motor choices for best results.

How do I clean these bearings?

Wipe away surface grime, rinse with a mild solvent if needed, dry thoroughly, and apply a minimal amount of light lubricant to keep rotation smooth.
