Key Features
- Genuine Axial Component — These bearings are OEM Axial parts engineered specifically for the Yeti XL, guaranteeing perfect fit, precise tolerances and seamless compatibility with your existing setup without any modifications or adjustments needed.
- Aluminium Construction — Lightweight aluminium material reduces unsprung weight in the suspension and steering systems, improving overall handling responsiveness and reducing the rotational inertia that can slow down steering input and suspension articulation.
- 6.8x8x3mm Precision Size — These exact dimensions are calibrated for the Yeti XL's critical steering and suspension joints, ensuring smooth rotation, minimal friction and consistent performance across all driving conditions and terrain types.
- Six-Pack Quantity — This set includes six individual bearings, giving you enough spares for complete steering geometry replacement, suspension refresh or future maintenance without needing to order multiple sets.
- High-Quality Ball Bearing Construction — Precision ball bearings provide smooth, low-friction rotation essential for responsive steering feel and suspension compliance on demanding off-road RC terrain.
Technical Performance
These aluminium ball bearings represent the engineering excellence that Axial has built its reputation upon. The 6.8x8x3mm specification is purpose-engineered for the Yeti XL's steering knuckles, suspension links and associated joints, where bearing quality directly impacts vehicle handling, steering precision and overall chassis responsiveness. Aluminium construction keeps rotating mass minimal, which is particularly important in steering and suspension applications where reduced inertia translates to quicker, more precise vehicle control. The precision ball bearing design ensures consistent low-friction rotation across repeated steering inputs, suspension articulation and the demanding impacts inherent to RC off-road driving. For serious RC crawler pilots and builders who understand that component quality compounds throughout a vehicle's performance envelope, investing in genuine OEM bearings is a cost-effective way to maintain your Yeti XL's capability and reliability. Whether you're replacing worn bearings or undertaking a complete steering geometry refresh as part of a tune-up sequence, these bearings deliver the precision and durability expected from Axial's engineering standards.
