The 3RB-T62 is an M2 x 6 thrust ball bearing engineered as a compact axial support element for TAMIYA M03M, M03L, M04M and M04L gearbox assemblies. It is intended for hobbyists and tuners seeking stable axial positioning with minimal rotational drag in small-scale drivetrains.
Use cases include replacement of worn gearbox thrust components, ensuring correct motor pinion seating, and fine-tuning drivetrain drag to improve coasting behaviour. The bearing's form factor suits tight installation envelopes typical of mini chassis designs.
Installation procedure for best results: during gearbox or motor servicing, remove the old thrust component, inspect shaft and housing for concentricity, press the bearing square to the housing using an arbor or driver that contacts the outer race, then reassemble and verify smooth axial clearance and free rotation under bench load.
