Reliable shielded bearings for the Tamiya F104 X1

The Jazrider JAZRIDER JR-CBR-TM-050 bearing set provides metal shielded ball bearings tailored to the Tamiya F104 X1. They are intended to lower friction and improve the smoothness of rotating assemblies for everyday club use.

Included bearing sizes

The kit contains the following bearings to address common wear points:

  • 5 x 10 x 4mm - 4 pieces
  • 5 x 11 x 4mm - 1 piece
  • 6 x 10 x 3mm - 4 pieces
  • 8 x 12 x 4mm - 2 pieces

These sizes match the typical housings found on the F104 X1 chassis and help reduce drag across the drivetrain.

Installation and care

Remove worn bearings and clean housing bores before installation. Use a light lubricant compatible with metal shielded bearings and verify each wheel or shaft spins freely after fitting. Regular maintenance will avoid premature failure.

Do these bearings need replacement more often than sealed bearings?

Metal shielded bearings offer a good balance of protection and serviceability. They may need relubricating more often than fully sealed units, depending on conditions.

Is special handling required when pressing these in?

Use a correct sized driver or a soft punch to avoid damaging races. Ensure even pressure during insertion to prevent misalignment.

Can I swap crown gear bearings with these sizes?

If the crown gear uses the same listed dimensions, these bearings can be used. Confirm the exact diameter and width before replacing critical gear bearings.
