Precision Bearings for Better M-05 Performance

The Tamiya 54179 Ball Bearing Set upgrades the M-05 by replacing factory bushings with low-friction bearings, helping the chassis run more freely and reducing wear on rotating parts.

What the Kit Supplies

Included are six 850 ball bearings and twelve 1150 ball bearings to suit the main axle and pivot locations on the M-05. Fitting these bearings produces smoother wheel movement and improved overall driveability.

Long Term Advantages

Ball bearings reduce resistance versus bushings which helps acceleration response and lowers mechanical wear when they are kept free of dirt and lubricated as needed.

Is assembly difficult for a hobbyist?

Basic mechanical skill is enough. Take care to remove old bushings cleanly, press bearings evenly, and check rotating parts for smooth movement after installation.

Will bearings need frequent replacement?

With routine cleaning and light lubrication, bearings typically outlast bushings, but inspect them after wet or dusty runs and replace if you notice play or rough feeling.

Can I service the bearings in situ?

You can clean and re-lube many bearings without full disassembly, but for thorough servicing remove them, clean with an appropriate solvent, then refit with fresh oil or grease.

Do these bearings affect gear mesh?

Bearings lower shaft resistance which can change driveline feel, but they do not directly alter gear mesh. Always check gear alignment and backlash after any drivetrain modification.
