Tamiya 50228 RC Plastic Bearing Replacement Kit  [50228]

Compact Plastic Bearings for RC Maintenance

The Tamiya 50228 Plastic Bearing Set is a practical replacement choice for many RC models. These plastic bearings offer reduced friction on axles and shafts while keeping mass low, which helps maintain smooth rolling under normal driving conditions. They are a convenient part for upkeep and light upgrades.

Plastic vs Metal Bearings

Plastic bearings avoid rust and generally need less anti-corrosion care than uncoated metal bearings, making them suitable for routine outdoor use. Their lightweight nature can slightly reduce the load on motors and drivetrains, and they are usually straightforward to fit in common hubs and carriers.

Suitable Model Types

These bearings work well across several model types, from road cars to off-road buggies and general hobby rigs. Their quieter operation and low maintenance profile make them a sensible choice for regular club practice or casual running.
