Compact Bearing Conversion for RM-01

The Tamiya 54426 adapters permit the use of 850 ball bearings in place of the larger 1150 units on the RM-01 chassis, cutting roughly 3.4 grams from the hub assembly. The reduced rotating weight tends to make steering inputs feel more immediate and can aid lap time consistency.

Compatibility and Fit

These adapters are produced for RM-01 upright locations and accept 850 bearings that are sold separately. They slot into position with minimal fuss and improve wheel rotation smoothness while keeping the original hub geometry intact.

They are intended for standard RM-01 uprights; older or customised uprights may require trial fitting or light machining to achieve a proper fit.
Endplay should remain similar but confirm there is no lateral movement once bearings are pressed in. Thin shims can be used to remove any unwanted play.
The adapter itself does not change suspension geometry, so tyre wear should not be noticeably affected unless the change in handling leads you to alter driving style or setup.
