Upgrading plastic bushings to ball bearings is a common, effective tweak for many Tamiya models. The Tamiya 54579 package contains sixteen 1150 ball bearings intended to decrease drivetrain losses and extend the service life of rotating joints.
The Tamiya 54579 bearing set is suitable for several well known Tamiya chassis. It fits DT-03 and DT-02 types, which typically need 14 bearings, and also supports WR-02, WR-02G and WT-01 variants that require 16, so it covers most common setups.
Installing ball bearings reduces friction at axles and gear interfaces, resulting in smoother operation and less component wear. This upgrade is practical for hobbyists focused on reliability and consistent performance.
