Give Your MB-01 Smoother Rolling Quality

The Tamiya 22026 Full Ball Bearing Set is a practical way to reduce drag on the MB-01 chassis. Replacing standard bushings with these bearings delivers cleaner rotation and improved mechanical efficiency during runs.

Kit Contents Summary

  • 12 pieces of 1050 (10mm x 5mm) ball bearings
  • 2 pieces of 1280 (12mm x 8mm) ball bearings
  • 4 pieces of 850 (8mm x 5mm) ball bearings

Performance Advantage

Using ball bearings lowers friction compared to plastic or plain metal bushings, which can translate to quicker spool-up and less heat in moving components. It also helps reduce wear on shafts and cups.

Installation Advice

Ensure bearings are free from grit before fitting to the MB-01 and use a small amount of suitable lubricant. Proper seating and cleanliness will maximise service life.

Can I reuse bearings from old kits?

You can reuse bearings if they spin freely and show no signs of rust or pitting. Replace any bearing that feels gritty or has excessive play.

Are these easy to fit at home?

Yes. With basic tools and careful handling these bearings press into place. Use a matching driver and avoid hammering directly on the inner race.

What lubricant should I use?

Light bearing oil keeps rolling resistance low without attracting too much dirt. For dusty conditions a light grease provides better protection but may cost a little top speed.

Do I need to change wheel hubs?

Generally no. These bearings are sized to replace the MB-01 bushings directly, so existing hubs and shafts should work as long as sizes match.
