Reliable Sealed Bearings for RC Models

The Tamiya 53066 - 1280 Sealed Bearing Set includes three sealed 8x12mm ball bearings intended for common RC applications. The nylon seals guard the internal races against dust and small particles, helping maintain steady operation.

Why Pick Tamiya Sealed Bearings

Sealed units limit contamination and reduce internal wear compared with open bearings. The Tamiya 53066 - 1280 bearings are produced to tight tolerances to fit typical shafts and hubs, reducing friction and preserving drive efficiency.

How long do sealed bearings typically last?

Lifespan depends on conditions and usage; with clean running and occasional inspection they can last many sessions, but exposure to water or heavy grit will shorten life.

Should I replace bushings with these bearings?

Upgrading bushings to sealed bearings improves rolling efficiency and reduces maintenance, though check compatibility and clearance before fitting.

Do sealed bearings add noticeable weight?

Any weight change is minimal; the main benefit is reduced friction and improved durability rather than weight savings.
