Bearing list location

[richb77 78]

Hi All.

Once upon a time i came across a list of Tamiya models (not unlike the model list here) and each model/chassis had a list of the bearings used in that model.

Anyone know where that was/is or where i can find similar as i like to source my bearings locally (basically suppliers at work get me what i want for a few quid as work buy thousands of big bearings from them.

I have just bought a JTCC Chavalier on the FF03 chassis and want to know what i need.

Cheers.

You can get the sizes from the manual :-

The only issue, is you'll need to cross reference Tamiya bearing sizes, as they number them backwards...🤦‍♂️

Thanks but what i meant was a list for each model.

So it would read...

"Model":

4 x 1150

8 x 1050

E.T.C and there was a page for each chassis/model.

 

Ignore my insane jibberings...I see the link you have supplied and can do the legwork. Its just a shame i think the site i found is either lost or been forcefully pulled. I have a feeling it was another Tamiya forum site or maybe even vintage-RC-

Thanks by the way!

I go onto rcbearings website and assume theyve done all the hard work upfront so they can sell complete bearing kits for each chassis type

Not seen anything like that since the old days of, half priced ballrace kit, if you bought a deal. Even then, found those kits only included gearbox and wheel bearings, where steering was missed (DF03 says fully ballraced, but plastic bushes for the steering 🤷‍♂️).

The chart will help you order the right bearings, you still might need to cross reference, and still check eBay for 1150 (5 x 11 x 4) bearings, as you can get 10 for around £4!
