Reliable Bearing Upgrade for TB Evolution IV Chassis

The Tamiya 51089 Ball Bearing Set is designed as a direct improvement for TB Evolution IV platforms, including TB-EVO IV and TB-EVO IV MS. These bearings aim to lower internal friction in rotating assemblies, improving smoothness and reducing component wear over time.

Performance and longevity advantages

Replacing worn bushes or stock bearings cuts drag and heat build-up. The Tamiya 51089 components are sized for the TB Evolution IV layout to help maintain consistent handling and reduce unwanted drivetrain losses.

Installation pointers from the pit box

Press bearings squarely into clean seats and avoid contacting the inner race during fitting. A small amount of light oil keeps rotation free, and routine checks after a few outings will reveal whether further service is needed.

Measure the bore and outer diameter against the chassis locations or compare to the original parts. Bearings should press in snugly without excess play or binding.
Yes, but environmental conditions matter. For off road, clean and service more often and consider seals or light grease to guard against dirt ingress.
Bearings mainly reduce internal drag and wear; improved drivetrain smoothness can make throttle inputs feel more consistent, which may indirectly improve handling precision.
Inspect bearings after every few sessions, clean and relubricate when you notice dirt or rough rotation. High mileage or harsh conditions justify more frequent servicing.
