Direct bearing swap for Tamiya TRF 501X using 3RACING BS-501X/V1

The 3RACING BS-501X/V1 Ball Bearing Set is a straightforward upgrade to replace the factory bushings on the Tamiya TRF 501X. Expect reduced friction across the drivetrain and quieter operation.

Performance benefits of ball bearings

Ball bearings lower rolling resistance, helping wheels and gears turn more freely and reducing stress on shafts and hubs. The BS-501X/V1 is built to match TRF 501X mounting dimensions for predictable results.

Installation pointers and service tips

Seat bearings evenly and check for smooth rotation before finishing the build. Keep bearings clean and apply a light lubricant after cleaning, especially after running in sandy or wet environments.

Lower friction can make acceleration feel crisper and reduce heat build up, but it does not alter gear ratios. You may notice smoother throttle response.
Yes, after coastal runs clean bearings to remove salt and grit and relubricate with a corrosion-resistant oil to prevent pitting.
Only reuse bearings that spin smoothly without noise or play. Inspect carefully and replace any that show wear to avoid failures on track.
