501 bearings

[andy]

can anybody tell me where you get be1 x2 , 1510 ball bearings from, i have tried brock models and rc- mushroom cant seem to find any thanks.

1510 is a 10mm ID x 15mm OD bearing, not an unusual size, try searching your favourite shops again with those terms. You may not easily find Tamiya's own bearings as a spare but there are plenty of generic bearings around that will cost you about £1 each and they are absolutely fine.

Hi,

i have used this ebay store a number of times. I have had no problems. Cheap and they do ceramic, i have always bought the grade5 bearings and found them to be a good product.

Cheers

Andy,

I temd to swap mine with each rebuild, and alsways use tamiya bits, if your stuck I am sure I can dig out a couple of used sets?

Also, try emailing rainbowten for parts availability, they nearly always have everything!

The only thing to take care of is that most tamiya replacement bearing I have bought have blue plastice side covers, not the usual rings, if any of that makes sense!?
