Racing-oriented full bearing set for GT-01

This full ball bearing set is supplied for the Tamiya GT-01 chassis bearing positions and is intended to reduce rotational friction across the driveline. It provides a direct replacement to worn bushes and high-friction bearings to improve rotational consistency under competitive loads.

From a setup perspective the GT-13 set is a tuning item: lower bearing drag helps make throttle and steering inputs more repeatable, which in turn lets suspension and drivetrain adjustments produce more predictable handling changes. Consider bearing condition when calibrating rigs for timed runs.

Fitting notes for the workshop: remove the old bearing or bushing, degrease and inspect seating bores, press the bearing squarely using an appropriate driver, and verify axial play and free spin prior to final assembly. Regular inspection during race prep cycles will maintain predictable driveline behaviour.

Measure inner and outer race diameters and compare with hub and gearbox bore dimensions; only fit if all critical dimensions match to avoid misalignment.
Ensure a firm interference on the outer race and no slop on the axle; check end float and confirm free rotation after press-fit to avoid preload or binding.
Inspect bearing seats for burrs, verify correct seating depth, and rotate each bearing under power at low speed to detect any roughness before track use.
