Practical bearing upgrade for the Tamiya MB-01 chassis

The JAZRIDER Metal Shielded Ball Bearing Set supplies 18 bearings intended to replace standard MB-01 bushings, reducing friction and improving rotational consistency. These shielded bearings are designed for hobbyists seeking durable, low-maintenance upgrades for everyday use.

Component list

  • 1050 (5mm x 10mm) ball bearings x12
  • 1280 (8mm x 12mm) ball bearings x2
  • 850 (5mm x 8mm) ball bearings x4

Metal shields help keep particles away from the races and reduce direct wear on shafts, extending service life when maintained correctly.

Installation and maintenance notes

Install bearings by pressing the outer race evenly into the housing and confirm free rotation on the shaft. Use a light bearing oil sparingly and inspect for contamination after dusty or wet runs. Routine checks and simple lubrication will keep the upgrade performing reliably.

What tolerance should I expect when fitting these bearings?

Expect standard loose fits for outer races in plastic housings; ensure the bore does not allow excessive play and that the inner race is supported by the correct shaft diameter.

Are the metal shields serviceable?

Metal shields are fixed to the bearing outer race and offer good protection. If a bearing shows roughness, replacement is recommended rather than attempting complex repairs.

Recommended routine checks after fitting?

After installation, verify smooth rotation, recheck after a short run for seating, and inspect for debris ingress. Schedule light lubrication at regular intervals based on usage intensity.
