Upgrade Your M-05 with the Tamiya 54179 Bearing Set

The Tamiya 54179 Ball Bearing Set replaces standard bushings on the M-05 chassis to reduce friction and help moving parts last longer under regular use.

Kit Contents and Practical Gains

The pack includes six 850 ball bearings plus twelve 1150 ball bearings, giving coverage for the most common rotation points on the M-05. Swapping in these bearings will improve rolling stability and make throttle response feel crisper.

Benefits for RC Running

Compared with plain bushings, ball bearings reduce rotational resistance which can translate to steadier speed and less component wear when bearings are kept clean and lightly oiled.

Can I use these bearings on other Tamiya kits?

These bearings are made for the M-05 layout. Some positions may match other Tamiya kits, but confirm sizes and fit before swapping to avoid fitment issues.

Do ball bearings affect lap times?

Lower friction can improve consistency and reduce small speed losses over a run, which helps lap time stability rather than producing dramatic single-lap gains.

Any tips for keeping bearings working well?

Clean bearings after dusty runs, remove grit, and apply a small amount of bearing oil. Avoid over-lubing where dirt may stick to the lubricant.
