Maintain Your Ball Differential with Tamiya 42171

The Tamiya 42171 RC 620 HC Thrust Bearings provide a rebuildable option for ball differentials, making it easy to change the number of balls inside the assembly. This helps you balance wear resistance with rotational smoothness for longer drivetrain life.

Parts Included and Use

The kit ships with two thrust washers and eight 1/16-inch balls. Adjust the configuration to suit aggressive off-road runs or casual track driving, and you'll find a setup that reduces wear while keeping operation smooth.

Is installation straightforward for a home mechanic?

Yes. If you can strip a differential and handle small parts, you can fit these bearings. Work on a flat surface and keep parts organised to avoid losing balls.

What improvements should I expect after fitting them?

Expect reduced wear on mating surfaces and a cleaner feel in the diff when the ball count is optimised for your driving style.

Are the balls prone to falling out during assembly?

They are small, so handle with care. Use a parts tray and magnetic tweezers if you have them to prevent loss during reassembly.
