Overview
The Tamiya TT-01 Type-E Ball Bearing Set is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your TT-01 chassis. This comprehensive 20-piece kit replaces all the stock plastic bushings with precision ball bearings, dramatically reducing drivetrain friction and freeing up power that would otherwise be lost to mechanical resistance.
Ball bearings are universally recognized as the essential first upgrade for any RC car. By minimizing friction in the drivetrain, you'll experience improved acceleration, higher top speeds, and better runtime from your battery packs. This kit also includes steering post bearings for sharper, more responsive steering feel.
