Unlock the true speed potential of your 1/18 scale oval racer with this Complete Ball Bearing Set. Many RTR (Ready-to-Run) micro cars come from the factory with plastic or brass bushings in the wheel hubs to save cost. While bushings are durable, they create significant friction that slows the car down and drains the battery faster.
This kit replaces those drag-heavy bushings with high-precision steel ball bearings. By reducing rotational resistance, your car will accelerate faster, reach a higher top speed, and run longer on a single charge. It is widely considered the #1 "Must-Have" Upgrade for any new 1RC vehicle.
Key Features
-
Complete Drivetrain Upgrade: Includes the exact bearings needed to replace the bushings in the entire car (Hubs, Axles, Transmission).
-
Steel Construction: Precision-ground steel races and balls provide smooth operation and long life compared to soft plastic bushings.
-
Flanged Design: Specific bearings in the kit feature a "Flange" (a lip on the edge) to seat perfectly in the 1RC axle tubes, ensuring the axle doesn't slide side-to-side.
-
Included Shim: Comes with a specific washer/shim often needed for the Left Rear axle spacing on Sprint Cars to prevent binding.
