Practical bearing upgrade for the Tamiya Scania chassis

The JAZRIDER JR-CBR-TM-071 metal shielded ball bearing set supplies a complete 38 piece complement for the Tamiya 56371 1/14 Scania 770 S 8x4/4 Truck. This kit is intended for hobbyists seeking a reliable, low maintenance bearing option to replace factory bushings and improve rolling efficiency.

Technical contents and sizing

The kit comprises 4 bearings of 6 x 12 x 4mm, 32 bearings of 5 x 11 x 4mm, and 2 bearings of 5 x 8 x 2.5mm. These sizes are selected to match common mounting points on the Scania drivetrain and allow a full conversion without sourcing additional parts.

Durability and routine considerations

Metal shielded bearings provide solid resistance to contamination while maintaining tight running clearances. For everyday hobby use they reduce friction, lower heat generation in gear trains, and decrease the frequency of routine servicing compared with plain bushings.

Which bearing size is the most critical to replace first?

Start with the 5 x 11 x 4mm bearings since they are most commonly used across the Scania drivetrain. Replacing worn examples yields the most noticeable improvement in smoothness.

Can I service these bearings or should I replace them?

These are shielded bearings that can be lightly cleaned and re-lubricated, but if contamination or wear is severe replacement is the safer option. Keep a few spares on hand for quick swaps.

Recommended lubricant for shielded RC bearings?

Use a light, low viscosity bearing oil for quick response or a thin synthetic grease for longer service intervals. Avoid heavy oils that increase drag in small diameter bearings.
