Refine Hotshot performance with Tamiya 54002 bearings

Designed for the 1/10 R/C Hotshot, the Tamiya 54002 Hotshot Ball Bearing Set offers a direct replacement for standard bearings to reduce internal resistance and improve drivetrain efficiency. These bearings help the buggy deliver more consistent power to the wheels.

Engineered bearings for consistent rolling

The Tamiya 54002 selection includes 1150ZZ and 850ZZ bearings made for reliable rotation and long service life. Fitting the set can sharpen handling and improve acceleration response on circuit or club runs.

Specifications

1150ZZ Ball Bearings: 13pcs
850ZZ Ball Bearings: 5pcs

Which surfaces benefit most from this upgrade?

Hardpack and smooth track surfaces show the clearest gains, where reduced bearing drag translates to crisper lap times and steadier speed through corners.

Are these bearings sealed or open?

The included 1150ZZ and 850ZZ items are shielded to offer protection while maintaining low friction suitable for general RC use.

Can I improve longevity with a specific lubricant?

A light bearing oil for speed or a thin synthetic grease for protection will help. Avoid heavy greases that increase drag and reduce the intended performance gain.

Is fitting these bearings a beginner friendly job?

Yes, basic mechanical skills are sufficient. Use correct sized drivers and press evenly to avoid damage, and consult your kit manual for bearing locations.
