Optimise TB-01 Performance with Bearings

The Tamiya 53398 Ball Bearing Set is a direct replacement for TB-01 bushings and suits owners after smoother drivetrain action. Swapping to metal bearings lowers mechanical drag and can lengthen the time between overhauls.

Why Swap to Bearings

Bearings reduce friction where shafts and gears turn, improving throttle response and lowering heat build-up. These changes help parts stay in better condition when running demanding sessions.

Helpful Installation Notes

Before fitting the Tamiya 53398 Ball Bearing Set, thoroughly clean mounting points and remove old grease. Seat bearings evenly and verify free rotation; a short test run will reveal any fitment issues.

Will changing to bearings affect battery runtime?

Lower drivetrain friction can slightly improve efficiency, which may give marginal gains in runtime depending on motor and gearing.

Do I need to replace every bushing at once?

For best results replace all worn bushings in the same area so rotation is balanced. Partial upgrades help but full replacements give the most consistent improvement.

Can sealed bearings be cleaned if contaminated?

Sealed bearings can be cleaned carefully and relubed, but if seals are damaged it is usually better to fit replacements to avoid premature wear.
