Upgrade the TA-04 Drivetrain with Precision Bearings

The Tamiya 53459 Ball Bearing Set swaps out stock bushings on the TA-04 chassis to lower rolling resistance and slow down wear on moving parts. By placing bearings where shafts and hubs rotate, you can expect more consistent steering input and reduced drivetrain drag during sessions.

Kit Contents and Suitability

The package contains eight 5x11 mm bearings, four 5x8 mm bearings, four 3x7 mm bearings, one 3x5 mm bushing, and one 3x9 mm round head screw to complete a full bearing conversion on the TA-04. These pieces are matched to typical running conditions and help maintain smooth operation.

Reducing friction can slightly improve acceleration and efficiency, but gains depend on motor setup and gearing. The main benefit is smoother, more consistent power transfer.
That part is a 3x5 mm bushing included to fit specific locations where a bushing is still required for correct fitment.
Bearings tolerate occasional dampness, but salt or persistent moisture will shorten life. Dry and relube after wet runs to keep them operating well.
Check bearings after each couple of sessions or if you notice roughness. Clean and relube as needed to avoid premature wear.
