Tune Your Tamiya TGX with High Quality Bearings

Hobbyists looking to sharpen their Tamiya TGX rigs will benefit from the Tamiya 53196 Wheel Axle Ball Bearing Set, which swaps out factory bushings for low-friction bearings. The upgrade helps wheels spin more freely and stabilises handling on mixed surfaces.

Why Fit Ball Bearings?

Ball bearings cut internal friction compared to bushings, improving the drivetrain's responsiveness and reducing wear on axle parts. This results in smoother throttle response and less resistance at the wheels over time.

Installation Pointers

Installing the Tamiya 53196 Wheel Axle Ball Bearing Set is a straightforward job for most modders. Make sure axle housings are clean, remove the old bushings carefully, and seat the bearings firmly to ensure they run true.

Best Use Scenarios

Designed for the Tamiya TGX range, this bearing set suits a variety of driving styles from casual bashing to tuning days. It is a practical fit for those wanting consistent rolling performance.

Yes, the set is intended to replace the stock wheel axle bushings on compatible Tamiya TGX models without major modification.
Expect reduced drivetrain drag and slightly freer rolling, which can improve acceleration and consistency rather than drastically increasing top speed.
Periodic inspection, light cleaning, and relubrication as needed will keep bearings running well, especially after wet or sandy sessions.
