Precision Bearings Built to Last

These 8x12x3.5 stainless steel ball bearings are produced to deliver dependable rotation and consistent service life. Their sealed construction and sturdy races are intended to reduce friction and keep drivetrain components running true.

Stainless Steel Advantages

Stainless steel helps limit corrosion and retains strength under repeated use, while the seals reduce contaminant ingress that can shorten bearing life. This combination makes sealed stainless bearings a practical upgrade for many RC parts.

Performance Uses and Fitment

Ideal for use in wheel hubs, differential outputs and small gearbox points where an 8x12x3.5 size is required, these bearings are a straightforward swap during maintenance intervals. Fresh sealed bearings often translate to smoother throttle response and quieter running.

How do I check bearing fit in my hub?

Measure the bore diameter and width of the hub and confirm it matches 8x12x3.5. A snug, flush fit without play is the target.

Can I reuse old sealed bearings after cleaning?

Cleaning can help, but if you feel roughness, noise or side play after cleaning, replacement is the safer option to protect other components.

What maintenance extends bearing life?

Keep exteriors free of grit, avoid forcing contaminants past the seals, and replace bearings at the first sign of deterioration to avoid collateral damage.

Are these bearings suitable for both road and off-road models?

Yes, they are versatile enough for both types, though off-road use may require more frequent inspection due to higher dirt exposure.
