Racing-grade bearing upgrade for TA05-IFS platforms

The 3RACING BS-IFS/V1 bearing set is engineered to replace standard bushings on the Tamiya TA05-IFS, lowering rotational resistance at key pivot points. This results in a more consistent drivetrain response and reduced parasitic drag under load.

Technical advantages and fitment

High precision ball bearings reduce friction and heat build-up compared with plain bushings, improving mechanical efficiency and part life. The 3RACING kit aligns with TA05-IFS mounting tolerances to allow repeatable installation and predictable handling changes in tuned setups.

Installation guidance for competitive use

Carefully remove the original bushings from the Tamiya TA05-IFS and press the 3RACING bearings in using a flat, even tool to avoid misalignment. After fitting, verify clearances and gear mesh; bearings will lower rolling resistance but chassis geometry and drivetrain lash still require proper setup for peak lap performance.

Which locations do these bearings replace on the TA05-IFS?

They are intended to replace the factory bushings at the ID points specified for the BS-IFS/V1 kit; confirm positions against your TA05-IFS manual before fitting.

What bearing tolerances should I expect?

Expect precision fits suitable for RC drivetrain loads; runout and radial play are minimised relative to plain bushes, improving repeatable lap times in tuned rigs.

Do you recommend any specific lubrication for racing?

Use a light racing bearing oil for reduced drag in qualifiers, and service with a slightly more viscous oil for longer mains to preserve life in variable conditions.

Any setup checks after fitting?

Check drive shaft runout, gearbox mesh and suspension freeplay after installation to ensure the bearings are functioning within the intended drivetrain geometry.
