Performance Bearings from Yokomo BB-1050CBA

Yokomo BB-1050CBA 5x10x4mm ceramic ball bearings are crafted to lower rolling resistance and increase wear resistance in small-scale RC models. The bearings measure 10mm outer diameter, 5mm inner diameter and 4mm thickness, making them a practical upgrade for sustained, smooth running.

Performance Benefits Explained

Ceramic bearings offer lower mass and reduced heat generation compared with typical steel bearings, which often leads to smoother drivetrain action and longer intervals between servicing. These features are particularly useful for hobbyists chasing consistent lap times.

Best Practice for Installation and Care

Ensure bearing housings and shafts are cleaned before assembly and align the bearing correctly when pressing it in. Routine maintenance, including cleaning and light lubrication, will keep the bearings in service for many sessions.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will these bearings fit standard hubs?

Provided your hubs accept 5x10x4mm bearings, these will fit. Verify the bore and shaft dimensions in your model manual before fitting.

How often should I service ceramic bearings?

Service intervals depend on usage and conditions, but regular checks after dusty or wet runs and light relubrication every few outings will keep performance steady.

Can ceramic bearings improve lap times?

They can reduce drivetrain losses and heat, helping to maintain consistent speed and handling across runs, which may translate to improved lap consistency for tuned setups.

Are these bearings sealed?

Check the product listing for seal type. Open bearings allow easier cleaning and relubrication while sealed units offer better protection against dirt ingress.

Any tips for pressing them in?

Press bearings using a soft drift that contacts only the outer race and apply steady force. Avoid impacting the inner race or the balls directly to prevent damage.
