Performance bearing upgrade - Tamiya 54579 RC DT-03 1150 Bearing Set for DT-02/WR-02 Series (16pcs) OP-1579  [54579]

Practical bearing upgrade for Tamiya 54579 users

Replacing plastic bushes with ball bearings is one of the most effective maintenance upgrades. The Tamiya 54579 pack supplies 16 1150 ball bearings to reduce drivetrain power loss and help components withstand longer running sessions.

Compatibility with popular chassis types

The Tamiya 54579 bearing set covers several mainstream Tamiya chassis. It works with DT-03 and DT-02 platforms (usually fitted with 14 bearings) and fits WR-02, WR-02G and WT-01 chassis that typically call for 16 bearings, making it a versatile spare parts choice.

Practical effects on handling and wear

Installing ball bearings lowers drivetrain drag and produces smoother rotation at axles and output shafts. This preserves battery power and reduces mechanical wear, useful for club racing or recreational runs.
