Reliable Ball Thrust Bearing for Improved Drivetrain Feel

Hobbyists chasing crisper gear engagement will appreciate the Tamiya 53136 Ball Thrust Bearing as a sturdier replacement for nylon thrust parts, delivering smoother rotation and longer component life.

Why Choose the Tamiya 53136 for Your Model

Precision Construction: Engineered to reduce axial play and provide steady load transfer where nylon thrusts may deform under stress.
Complete Kit Components: Packaged with the thrust ball assembly, two thrust washers and an internal brass spacer to simplify installation.
Compatible Models: Works with a variety of Tamiya chassis and racing replicas, including the Ferrari F189, Honda NSX and McLaren MP4/6.

Do I need special tools to fit this bearing?

Basic RC tools like pliers and a small driver are usually enough; use a soft drift or press to avoid brinelling the bearing during installation.

How does this affect handling and wear?

By reducing friction and play, the bearing can sharpen response and reduce uneven wear on adjacent parts, helping components last longer under regular use.

Can I use it on off-road or on-road setups?

The Tamiya 53136 suits both types where the drivetrain layout matches; protect exposed bearings from mud and grit on off-road machines.
