Bearing system overview for Team XRAY M18T

The Team XRAY M18T Ball Bearing Set from 3Racing, model M18T-28, is specified to replace all factory bushings with precision ball bearings to reduce torque losses and limit wear at rotating interfaces. This conversion targets improved mechanical efficiency and repeatable drivetrain behaviour for competitive setups.

Engineering benefits and performance impact

By converting sliding interfaces to rolling elements, the M18T-28 set decreases frictional moments across axles, idlers and gearbox shafts. Reduced internal drag results in cooler operation and more linear power transfer, which aides setup consistency and lap time predictability during tuning sessions.

Installation protocol and maintenance regimen

Ensure bearings are pressed squarely into housings to prevent misalignment and premature wear. Use a light, low-viscosity bearing oil suitable for RC applications and adopt a scheduled inspection after exposure to contaminants. Replace any bearing showing roughness or pitting to preserve drivetrain integrity.

What drivetrain locations are covered by M18T-28?

The set includes bearings for primary rotating positions on the Team XRAY M18T chassis, intended to replace the standard bushing points for a full conversion.

How does reduced drag affect tuning choices?

Lower drivetrain losses can shift handling balance; expect slightly different throttle bite and consider revisiting gear ratio and diff settings as part of setup refinement.

Recommended inspection intervals for competition use?

Inspect bearings between heats or at each event if running in dust or moisture. Clean, relube or replace bearings showing deterioration to avoid cascade failures that affect race performance.
