Precision Performance from Tamiya 1050 Bearings

Improve drivetrain smoothness by installing Tamiya 42379 - 1050 (3mm) sealed ball bearings in your model. These bearings offer a higher-precision replacement for plastic or plain metal bearings to reduce play and improve responsiveness.

Features That Matter

The Tamiya 42379 bearings incorporate practical features aimed at hobbyists who demand consistent running:

  • Smooth Rotation: Ball bearing construction cuts friction for crisper movement and less wear.
  • Blue Rubber Seals: Flexible seals make maintenance easier while helping keep contaminants out.
  • Low-Viscosity Lubrication: Pre-applied light oil ensures they run smoothly straight from the packet.
  • Maintenance Advice: Inspect after impacts and top up lubrication to keep bearing performance reliable.

Compatibility and Usage Notes

These 1050 bearings are suitable for Tamiya kits using double cardan joint shafts but are not compatible with certain axle shaft parts such as the TRF420. They are a common upgrade for those seeking reduced drivetrain resistance and improved setup precision.

Listen for roughness or grinding and check for play in the shaft; noticeable noise or wobble usually means replacement is required.
Light oil is preferred for these small bearings to preserve free spin; heavy grease can increase resistance.
Seals are durable but if damaged or cracked during service, replacing the bearing is usually the best option.
