BS-DB01/V1 is an upgrade bearing kit sized for the TAMIYA DB-01 chassis, featuring steel precision races to lower rotational losses in drive shafts and steering links. The set targets reduced parasitic drag for more consistent lap-to-lap response.
Fitting these bearings in place of stock bushings restores smoother gear and wheel rotation, helping drivers detect setup issues rather than masking them. This kit suits routine service and race prep where predictable drivetrain behaviour is required.
Service note: remove original bushings or bearings per DB-01 service instructions, inspect journals and gear interfaces for wear, press bearings squarely into their housings and reassemble following the chassis manual. Regular inspection and appropriate light lubrication will keep the steel bearings operating at peak efficiency.
Setup impact: precision bearings lower rolling resistance in the drivetrain, sharpen throttle and steering feedback and make diagnostics of vibration and binding more straightforward during tuning sessions. Use BS-DB01/V1 as a base-line hop-up for competitive DB-01 setups.
