Smooth Out SW-01 Rotation with a Full Bearing Set

Model builders and weekend racers can improve the SW-01 chassis by fitting the Tamiya 54900 Full Ball Bearing Set. Replacing stock bushings with these bearings helps lower friction and improves mechanical efficiency.

Included Bearing Breakdown

The package contains 20 bearings total: four 1280, eight 1060, and eight 630 bearings. Each bearing is sized to suit SW-01 mounting points and to enhance the longevity of rotating parts.

Why Ball Bearings Matter

Ball bearings reduce contact friction in the drivetrain, which often yields longer run times and reduces load on the motor. Over time this can lead to fewer service issues with transmission components.

These are standard ball bearings; check the product markings or supplier notes for seal type. Open bearings allow easier cleaning while sealed ones keep contaminants out better.
Bearings reduce drivetrain drag which can translate to slightly improved lap consistency and marginally better times, especially over longer runs.
A light drop of bearing oil after fitting can help initial break-in, but avoid heavy greases that attract grit and increase rolling resistance.
