Reliable Ball Bearing Upgrade for the M-05

The Tamiya 54179 Ball Bearing Set swaps in precision bearings where the M-05 uses bushings, reducing rotational drag and helping extend component life under regular use.

Contents and On-Track Effects

This pack features six 850 ball bearings and twelve 1150 ball bearings to service the common pivot and axle points on the M-05. The bearing swap results in smoother rolling and a neater drivetrain feel.

Practical Advantages of Ball Bearings

By cutting friction relative to plain bushings, ball bearings help maintain speed and reduce wear when cleaned and lightly lubricated on a maintenance schedule.

The 54179 set covers the main bearing positions for the M-05. Verify each mounting point on your chassis to ensure all required sizes are present for a full swap.
Use a light bearing oil or suitable RC bearing lubricant sparingly. Heavy greases can attract grit and reduce bearing life in exposed applications.
Lower drivetrain drag can make throttle response feel sharper. Recheck setup settings such as differential and slipper clutch adjustments after fitting bearings to keep handling balanced.
