Precision Thrust Bearing Arrowmax AM-200162 for Reliable Diffs

The Arrowmax AM-200162 ceramic thrust bearing is a compact 5x10mm component engineered to reduce internal friction and extend service life in RC differentials. Its ceramic build focuses on stable, low-friction operation.

Material Benefits for Consistent Operation

Ceramic construction provides superior wear resistance and less thermal expansion than steel, giving a dependable bearing that copes well with higher temperatures and corrosive environments.

Compatibility Notes and Typical Uses

Fit this bearing into differential setups that accept a 5x10 thrust bearing to improve drive smoothness. It is suitable for competitive and club-level models where consistent diff behaviour matters.

How will the Arrowmax AM-200162 affect handling?

By lowering thrust friction inside the differential, the bearing can produce a smoother breakaway and more predictable torque transfer, which drivers may notice in steering response and traction transitions.

What grease should I use with a ceramic thrust bearing?

Use a light synthetic diff grease or oil recommended by your diff manufacturer. Ceramics do not need heavy greases, so follow the model makers guidance for best results.

Can I swap this into older models?

If the diff calls for a 5x10 thrust bearing it is normally a straightforward replacement, but check housing clearances and seating to avoid misalignment or pre-load issues.

How often should I inspect the bearing?

Inspect bearings during routine diff service intervals. Look for signs of wear, contamination or roughness and replace if performance degrades to maintain consistent handling.

Are there upgrade paths from this bearing?

This bearing is itself an upgrade over plain steel options; further improvements focus on matched sealed bearings, upgraded diff gears or changing diff oils to fine tune behaviour.
