Pair of Tamiya 94386 AO-1008 830 bearings

The Tamiya 94386 AO-1008 830 Bearing pair is designed to replace original plastic bushings, improving rotational smoothness and reducing drag. They are a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts wanting better drivetrain efficiency without complex mods.

Purpose and model compatibility

These bearings minimise metal to plastic contact at axle points, cutting friction and helping the motor transfer power more cleanly. They fit many Tamiya Mini 4WD platforms and are commonly used on chassis like MS and MA, offering flexible compatibility for different builds.

On-track advantages

By smoothing axle rotation, the bearings help the car hold speed through technical sections and reduce unpredictable slowdowns. This makes them ideal for racers focused on consistent lap times and reliable handling on tighter circuits.

Installation and handling advice

Fitting the Tamiya 94386 AO-1008 830 Bearings is quick and tool-light. They slot into the bushing cavities and replace the stock parts without forcing any changes to the chassis. Basic cleanup and alignment ensure the best performance.

They are compatible with a wide selection of Tamiya Mini 4WD chassis, including common MS and MA types, and are a popular upgrade for standard competition cars.
Many racers replace key bushing positions to balance cost and performance. Consider using bearings where axle load and rotation precision matter most, such as front and rear wheel locations.
With normal track use and occasional cleaning, bearings typically last many race sessions. Keep out of grit and re-lubricate lightly when signs of wear or roughness appear.
Run the car at moderate speed for a few laps to settle the bearings, then check alignment and wheel play. A short bedding period helps achieve smooth rotation.
