Key Features
- Premium Ball-Raced Bearings — These bearings feature high-quality ball-race construction that ensures ultra-smooth operation under all driving conditions, whether you're bashing on grass, concrete, or indoor tracks across the UK. The precision ball bearings reduce friction and wear, translating directly to better acceleration, handling, and overall RC car performance.
- Precision Manufactured Construction — Each bearing is precision engineered and manufactured to consistent tolerances, which means fast and easy installation without any need for modifications or adjustments. This consistency ensures every bearing performs identically, providing reliable servicing and maintenance cycles.
- Manufactured to Consistent Tolerance — Safety and security during assembly are paramount in RC vehicle maintenance. These bearings are manufactured to precise specifications, guaranteeing safe and secure assembly every time you need to service your RC car. You can trust that each bearing will fit correctly and perform as intended.
- High-Quality Rubber Shields — The advanced rubber shield design provides enhanced protection against the elements, which is especially important for RC enthusiasts in the UK who bash in variable weather conditions. These shields effectively keep dirt, water, and dust out of the bearing while keeping lubrication in, dramatically extending bearing life.
- Extended Maintenance Intervals — By keeping dirt, water, and dust out and lubrication in, these shielded bearings mean more time actually bashing your RC car and less time spent wrenching and performing maintenance. This translates to more fun and fewer interruptions during your RC sessions.
- Pair Included — This package includes two ball bearings, which is ideal for replacement pairs on axles, providing complete coverage for one full axle assembly on most ARRMA models.
Technical Performance
These 8x19x6mm ball bearings represent the pinnacle of ARRMA's engineering and quality control standards. The specification of 8mm inside diameter, 19mm outside diameter, and 6mm thickness makes these bearings a universal fit across numerous ARRMA vehicle platforms ranging from 1/7-scale trophy trucks and buggies to 1/8-scale speed trucks and stunt machines. The 2RS (rubber shield) designation indicates that both sides of the bearing are protected with rubber seals, providing comprehensive protection against environmental contaminants whilst maintaining smooth rotational characteristics. The ball-race construction at the heart of these bearings minimises friction losses, which is critical for maintaining top speed performance in brushless RC vehicles. Whether you're running a 6S LiPo-powered KRATON 6S brushless speed truck or a high-performance TYPHON 6S buggy, these bearings will handle the demands of modern brushless motor systems. The consistent manufacturing tolerance ensures that bearing preload is correct, preventing wobbling whilst avoiding excessive friction that would waste battery power. For UK RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance, these bearings are engineered to handle both casual weekend bashing and competitive racing applications. The rubber shield design makes them particularly suitable for the unpredictable British weather and terrain conditions that RC bashers frequently encounter.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC models are these bearings compatible with? — These 8x19x6mm (2RS) ball bearings are compatible with a wide range of ARRMA vehicles including the 1/7 BIG ROCK 6S, FELONY 6S, FIRETEAM 6S, INFRACTION 6S, LIMITLESS 6S, MOJAVE 6S, and the 1/8 KRATON 6S, NOTORIOUS 6S, OUTCAST 6S, TALION 6S, and TYPHON 6S. They are listed as standard parts for most of these models, meaning they come stock on new vehicles and are the correct replacement when original bearings wear out.
- What does 2RS mean on these bearings? — The 2RS designation means that both sides (2) of the bearing are fitted with rubber seals (RS). These rubber shields protect the bearing internals from dirt, water, and dust whilst keeping the lubrication sealed inside. This is especially valuable for RC vehicles used outdoors in the UK where moisture and contamination are common challenges.
- How often should I replace bearings on my ARRMA RC car? — Bearing lifespan depends on driving conditions and frequency. Bearings used in harsh conditions with dirt and moisture will require replacement more often than those used in clean environments. If you notice grinding noise, increased friction, or loose/wobbly axles, it's time to replace your bearings. These genuine ARRMA replacements ensure your RC vehicle maintains original performance specifications.
- Are these bearings suitable for both speed and stunt trucks? — Yes, these bearings are used as standard parts across ARRMA's entire range including speed trucks like the KRATON 6S and TALION 6S, as well as stunt trucks like the NOTORIOUS 6S and OUTCAST 6S. This versatility demonstrates their reliability across different driving styles and vehicle configurations.
- Why should I use genuine ARRMA bearings instead of aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine ARRMA bearings are precision manufactured to the exact specifications required by ARRMA vehicles, ensuring proper fit, consistent tolerance, and optimal performance. They are engineered to work seamlessly with your RC car's suspension and drivetrain geometry. Using genuine parts maintains your warranty protection and guarantees compatibility with your specific model.
- How do rubber shields improve bearing performance in RC cars? — Rubber shields keep contaminants like dirt, water, and mud out of the bearing race whilst trapping lubrication inside where it's needed. This prevents premature wear caused by abrasive contamination and maintains smooth operation even when bashing in muddy or wet conditions common in the UK climate.
