Tamiya 42375 - 1280 Bearing Upgrade for TT-02 and F104

The Tamiya 42375 - 1280 sealed ball bearings are a direct replacement option for plastic or worn bearings, providing steadier rotation and longer functional life when cared for correctly. They are commonly used in differential and roller positions where consistent spin matters.

Where to Fit These Bearings

These 1280 sealed bearings fit TT-02 chassis differential gears and F104 ball differentials, and are suitable for other mounting points that call for the 1280 size. The blue seals keep contaminants at bay to protect the race and rolling elements.

Maintenance and Inspection

Open the seal to clean bearings with a mild solvent, dry, then add a light oil for re-lubrication. Regular checks after heavy sessions or impacts will reveal play or roughness that indicates replacement is needed.

Yes, the seal can be carefully lifted to access the balls for cleaning. Use caution to avoid nicking the seal and replace it fully after lubrication.
They offer consistent low-friction rotation that benefits routine race prep, but final selection depends on track conditions and specific drivetrain tuning choices.
Light oil is recommended for minimal drag in small differential bearings; heavy greases will increase resistance and may affect differential action.
Listen for grinding or clicking, check for side play, inspect seals for damage, and confirm shafts run true. Replace bearings that remain noisy after cleaning and relubrication.
