Technical bearing upgrade for TA04 drive components

For practical hobbyists fitting a Tamiya TA04 or TA04S, the JAZRIDER JAZRIDER JR-CBR-TM-008 metal shielded ball bearing set offers a straightforward durability upgrade. The shielded races reduce particulate ingress and maintain rolling efficiency across typical service intervals.

Design and maintenance notes

Metal shields provide a durable barrier against grit while allowing routine inspection and light lubrication. This reduces tear-down frequency and is suitable for everyday driving scenarios where ease of maintenance is valued.

Package contents and coverage

This specific bearing set includes:

  • 8 pieces of 5 x 11 x 4 mm bearings
  • 4 pieces of 5 x 8 x 2.5 mm bearings
  • 3 pieces of 3 x 7 x 3 mm bearings

Fifteen bearings in total provide coverage for the principal rotational mounting points on the TA04 chassis, improving drivetrain smoothness and supporting consistent handling.

What cleaning method is recommended for shielded bearings?

Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a small amount of bearing oil for light lubrication. Avoid prolonged solvent baths that remove lubricant from inside the shields.

Can I reuse existing bearing housings and spacers?

Yes, in most cases the original housings and spacers from the TA04 fit these bearings. Confirm inner and outer diameters align before final assembly to ensure correct fitment.

When should bearings be replaced rather than serviced?

Replace bearings that show persistent roughness, excessive play, or noise after cleaning. Continued use of compromised bearings can increase wear on adjacent components.
