Serviceable Thrust Bearings from Tamiya 42171

The Tamiya 42171 RC 620 HC Thrust Bearings are built to be taken apart so you can alter the internal ball count. This adjustability helps reduce wear and keeps the ball differential running smoothly over time.

What Comes in the Kit

The package contains two thrust washers and eight 1/16-inch balls. By changing how many balls are used, model builders can fine tune the diff to match tyre grip, track conditions and maintenance preferences.

Will these bearings fit non-Tamiya diffs?

They are intended for ball differentials that accept 1/16-inch components; you should confirm dimensions and clearances on non-Tamiya units before fitting.

How often should I inspect the balls and washers?

Inspect them every few running sessions or after heavy use. Look for nicks on the balls and wear marks on the washers and replace parts as needed.

Can I change ball count for different track conditions?

Yes. Increasing ball count can help spread load on abrasive surfaces, while fewer balls may be preferred on low-grip tracks for a freer diff feel.

What lubricants work best with these bearings?

Use light diff oil or grease recommended for ball differentials; avoid heavy greases that can affect diff action unless that is your intended setup.
