Will rubber shields stop water and mud?

Rubber shields offer protection against dust and light moisture but they are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to deep water or heavy mud to preserve bearing life.

How much performance gain can I expect?

Upgrading to high quality stainless bearings like the Tamiya 53158 reduces friction in rotating parts which can improve throttle response and top speed, especially on well tuned cars.

Are these bearings serviceable?

Sealed rubber shields limit contamination but also make cleaning more difficult. For long term service, inspect regularly and replace if pitting or roughness is felt.
