These bearings are particularly valuable for RC car enthusiasts in the UK who appreciate the importance of maintenance and ongoing care. Keeping spare bearings in your spares box is a smart move that demonstrates serious commitment to your RC vehicle's longevity and performance. The double protective shields provide added durability, protecting the bearing races from dirt and debris during typical RC use.

- Precision Manufactured for Easy Fit — Each bearing is manufactured to consistent tolerances, meaning they fit perfectly into your RC model without the need for forcing or adjustment, saving you time during servicing and maintenance.
- Manufactured to Consistent Tolerance — The tight manufacturing tolerances ensure safe and secure assembly every time, providing peace of mind that your bearings will perform reliably and consistently across multiple servicing cycles.
- Double Protective Shields — The dual shields provide comprehensive protection against dirt, dust and debris that can damage bearing races during typical RC use, extending the lifespan of your replacement bearings and maintaining smooth operation.

Technical Performance
These ball bearings represent the engineering excellence ARRMA is recognised for throughout the RC hobby community. The 6x16x5mm dimensions are precision-engineered to exact tolerances, ensuring that when installed, they provide the smooth, responsive feel that serious RC enthusiasts demand. The internal 6mm bore and 16mm external diameter, combined with the 5mm thickness, make these bearings suitable for use in the drivetrain components where durability and consistent performance matter most. The ball-race design minimises friction and rotational resistance, translating directly into better acceleration response and smoother handling characteristics. Whether you're running a high-performance brushless RC car or a more traditional brushed setup, quality bearings are fundamental to reliable operation. The double shields protect the bearing races from contamination, which is particularly important when operating your RC vehicle in dusty or muddy conditions common across the UK. By using precision-manufactured replacement bearings, you're ensuring that your RC model performs exactly as the manufacturer intended, with no compromise in speed, handling or reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are the ARRMA Ball Bearing 6x16x5mm compatible with? — These bearings are confirmed compatible with the Arrma 1/5 Outcast 4X4 8S BLX EXB Brushless Stunt Truck RTR. However, the 6x16x5mm size is a common bearing dimension used across many RC vehicles, so compatibility may extend to other models. We recommend checking your vehicle's service manual or contacting our expert team if you're unsure whether these bearings fit your specific RC car.
- Why should I keep spare bearings for my RC model? — Bearings are wear components that experience constant friction during operation. Having spare bearings allows you to maintain your RC vehicle without extended downtime, and replacing worn bearings restores smooth operation and responsive handling that may degrade over time with typical use.
- What does the double protective shield do? — The double shields seal the bearing races, preventing dirt, dust and moisture from entering and damaging the internal ball races. This is especially important when running your RC car in muddy, sandy or wet conditions, and extends the overall lifespan of your bearings significantly.
- How often should I replace my RC bearings? — The frequency depends on how intensively you use your RC vehicle and the conditions in which you operate it. Regular bashing in dusty or wet environments may require more frequent bearing replacement than gentle track use. We recommend inspecting your bearings regularly for smooth rotation and replacing them if you notice any grinding, grinding sounds or resistance.
- Are these original ARRMA parts? — Yes, the Z-ARA610036 is the official ARRMA part number for this bearing set, ensuring you receive genuine components manufactured to ARRMA's strict specifications.
