Smoother Rolling for TB-EVO IV Chassis

The Tamiya 51089 Ball Bearing Set is a simple maintenance upgrade for TB Evolution IV cars, including TB-EVO IV and TB-EVO IV MS models. These bearings are intended to lower friction at rotating joints so your car runs with less resistance and improved mechanical efficiency.

What the Bearings Improve

Ball bearings take the load off shafts and bushings, cutting heat and wear during track sessions or club meets. The Tamiya 51089 selection is matched to TB Evolution IV bearing points to help maintain steady steering feel and consistent lap times.

Fitting Hints and Care

Clean the bearing seats and remove any grit before pressing bearings in. Use a small amount of light oil to keep them free-spinning, and inspect seals and races periodically to prevent premature failure.

Can I replace bushings with these bearings?

If your TB-EVO IV uses bushings in certain locations, these bearing replacements can reduce friction where sizes match. Verify dimensions before swapping bushings for bearings.

Are these sealed or open bearings?

The pack typically includes bearings suited for model use; confirm seal type if you need full dust protection. Sealed types need less frequent lubrication but still benefit from periodic cleaning.

How should I press the bearings in?

Use a proper bearing driver or a socket that contacts only the outer race to press bearings straight into place. Avoid hitting the inner race or shaft to prevent damage.
