Trusted Rotation with Tamiya 1050 Bearings

Swap in Tamiya 42379 - 1050 (3mm) sealed ball bearings to cut drivetrain drag and sharpen movement on your RC. These bearings are a practical upgrade over standard plastic or plain bearings for better feel and reliability.

Notable Features of the 1050 Bearings

The Tamiya 42379 bearings include several handy design points that suit bashing and track use:

  • Smooth Rotation: Precision balls reduce friction and help maintain speed through turns.
  • Blue Rubber Seals: The rubber covers make cleaning simpler and shield the internals from grit.
  • Low-Viscosity Lubrication: Supplied with light oil to keep initial running smooth and reduce break-in time.
  • Maintenance Tips: After heavy shocks or dusty runs, clean and relube to protect bearing life.

Where These Bearings Work Best

Designed for Tamiya models that use double cardan joint shafts, these 1050 bearings are not suitable for some axle shaft types like the TRF420. They are commonly used when upgrading stock parts to reduce play and friction.

The seals help resist splash and dust but avoid prolonged exposure to water to prevent lubricant washout.
They are sized around common 3mm shaft locations; check the inner diameter fits your application before fitting.
Keep seals clean, relube periodically, and replace bearings after heavy impacts to maintain smooth running.
Yes, basic bearing presses or careful use of a socket and soft mallet will usually fit them without special tools.
