Owners of the Tamiya CR01 can get a noticeable drivetrain improvement by fitting the 3Racing full ball bearing set. This kit replaces factory bushings at high load points to reduce friction and help parts last longer in regular use.
Ball bearings lower mechanical drag compared with plain bushings, which reduces strain on the motor and drivetrain. The result is smoother acceleration, steadier steering inputs, and less heat buildup during long runs.
Swapping is straightforward: remove the old bushings and press the bearings into hubs, gearbox bores and rotating linkages. Confirm bearings rotate freely and are fully seated; use a small dab of grease if needed to protect against corrosion.
