Upgrade wheel support on the FANTOM EP 4WD with Kyosho EFW004

The Kyosho EFW004 gold anodised front double bearings are tailored to the FANTOM EP 4WD as a practical bearing upgrade. Fitting two 6x10x3mm bearings in place of the original 6x15x5mm reduces shaft vibration and lowers mechanical drag for smoother rotation.

Why fit the EFW004 upgrade

The gold anodised finish offers improved surface protection and a neat appearance, while the twin-bearing arrangement enhances shaft stability and drivetrain efficiency. Many hobbyists fit this to achieve a more responsive feel from the front end.

Practical fitting tips

Ensure the wheel shaft is clean and true before inserting the Kyosho EFW004 bearings. Press them squarely into position and apply a small amount of suitable lubricant to maintain free movement and prolong life.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho 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.

Do these require special maintenance?

Routine checks and light cleaning keep these bearings performing well. Remove grit and reapply a light bearing oil after wet or dirty runs to avoid premature wear.

Will they change my centre of steering?

The upgrade improves shaft support rather than altering geometry, so steering centre is unchanged, but feedback and consistency can feel improved due to reduced vibration.

Can I use the same hubs and hardware?

Yes, the EFW004 is intended as a direct bearing swap for the FANTOM EP 4WD hubs. Verify that the hub bore and shaft match before installing on non-standard setups.

How noticeable is the performance gain?

On smooth tracks and at higher speeds the reduction in friction and vibration is more apparent, yielding steadier steering and less drivetrain drag.

What tools are best for removal and fitting?

A small bearing puller and a press or bearing driver set are ideal. If using hand tools, work slowly and keep the bearing square to avoid race damage.
