Practical Plastic Bearings for RC Hobbyists

The Tamiya 50228 Plastic Bearing Set offers a lightweight bearing option to keep your RC models turning smoothly. Crafted from sturdy plastic, these bearings reduce friction on rotating parts and are a sensible choice for regular maintenance tasks. They help improve everyday drivability without adding weight.

Why Use Plastic Bearings

Plastic bearings bring weight savings and reduced corrosion risk compared to untreated metal parts, making them low maintenance for outdoor running. They are compatible with a wide selection of RC layouts, so swapping them in is typically quick and easy.

Where These Bearings Fit

From street-style touring cars to trail-ready buggies, the set suits many chassis formats. The quieter operation of plastic bearings can also be appreciated when practising or tuning a model where noise reduction is preferred.

Can plastic bearings handle wet conditions?

Plastic resists rust better than metal, but avoid prolonged exposure to water and clean debris after wet running to keep bearings performing well.

Do these reduce drivetrain noise?

Yes, plastic bearings often run quieter than some metal types, making them useful if you prefer a less noisy setup during practice sessions.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is generally straightforward; press or seat the bearings into hubs and check alignment. Use appropriate tools to avoid deforming the plastic.
