Refine wheel and gear rotation on Mini 4WD

The Tamiya 15523 Low Friction Plastic Bearing Set helps lower mechanical resistance across your Mini 4WD drivetrain. The selection of bearings in the set is intended to match typical axle and gear mounting points found on popular racing builds.

Types included and where they fit

Low-Friction 620 Plastic Bearings: Designed for use on hex shaft axles to reduce drag and support consistent wheel spin.
Low-Friction 520 Plastic Bearings: Targeted at counter gear locations in Mini 4WD PRO cars to improve drivetrain flow.
Compatibility: Suitable for standard Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO chassis, offering flexible use across setups.

Practical effects for track tuning

Switching to low-friction bearings often results in smoother acceleration and steadier top-end speed by cutting internal resistance. They are a simple tuning step for both competitive racers and casual builders aiming for cleaner performance.

Which bearings come with this set?

The set comes with five Low-Friction 620 Plastic Bearings and two Low-Friction 520 Plastic Bearings, covering common mounting points.

Can I use these bearings in older Mini 4WD models?

Yes, they are designed to fit typical Mini 4WD shaft and gear sizes, so many older models will accept them with standard installation procedures.

Do plastic bearings need special lubrication?

Use light, dust-resistant lubricants and avoid heavy greases; regular cleaning and a light dry lube will keep them rolling well without attracting debris.
