Overview
The ARRMA Senton 6S BLX Bearing Kit is an essential maintenance and upgrade component for serious RC enthusiasts running ARRMA's high-performance 1/10 scale brushless vehicles. Whether you own a Senton 6S, Kraton 6S, OutCast 6S, Notorious 6S, or Typhon 6S, this comprehensive bearing kit ensures your RC car UK setup maintains peak performance and reliability. Designed specifically for the demanding requirements of 6S LiPo-powered bashers and racers, this full bearing kit replaces worn components and restores the smooth, responsive handling that makes ARRMA vehicles so popular amongst UK RC car enthusiasts.
Maintaining your brushless RC car means keeping all moving parts in perfect condition, and bearings are absolutely critical to performance. Over time, even high-quality ball bearings wear from the constant rotation and impacts inherent to off-road RC bashing. This genuine ARRMA bearing kit contains everything you need to refresh your chassis and suspension, bringing your vehicle back to factory specifications or preparing it for intensive racing and competition use. The kit includes a carefully selected combination of ball bearing sizes, each engineered to fit precisely in the specific locations throughout your ARRMA 6S platform.
For UK RC car owners who demand reliability and authentic parts compatibility, this bearing kit offers complete peace of mind. Using genuine ARRMA components ensures perfect fitment and maintains the engineering integrity of your vehicle, whether you're a weekend basher enjoying outdoor RC action or a competitive racer preparing for the next big event.
Key Features
- Complete Bearing Kit for ARRMA 6S Models — This kit is specifically engineered to fit the ARRMA Kraton 6S, OutCast 6S, Notorious 6S, Senton 6S, and Typhon 6S, ensuring perfect compatibility and eliminating guesswork when sourcing replacement bearings.
- Metal Shield Protection — The ball bearings feature metal shields for enhanced durability, protecting the bearing races from dirt, debris and moisture encountered during outdoor RC driving, which extends bearing life and maintains smooth operation.
- High-Quality Zen Bearing Manufacture — Manufactured by Zen Bearings, a recognised quality bearing producer, each ball bearing meets strict tolerances and quality standards essential for precision RC performance.
- Comprehensive Range of Bearing Sizes — The kit includes multiple bearing dimensions optimised for different suspension, drivetrain and steering components, providing a complete solution rather than piecemeal replacements.
- Smooth Operation and Reduced Friction — Fresh, properly-sized bearings eliminate play and reduce friction throughout the chassis, resulting in improved handling response, faster acceleration and more consistent performance during high-speed runs.
- Genuine ARRMA Component — As an authentic ARRMA part, this bearing kit maintains the engineering specifications and quality standards that ARRMA vehicles are engineered to deliver.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Senton 6S BLX Bearing Kit comprises a carefully selected assortment of ball bearings in multiple sizes, each manufactured to precise specifications for optimal performance in high-speed brushless RC applications. The kit includes 2x 5x11x4mm bearings, 4x 6x10x3mm bearings, 2x 8x19x6mm bearings, 10x 8x16x5mm bearings, and 4x 15x21x4mm bearings, totalling 22 individual ball bearings. The metal shields on each bearing provide a robust barrier against the elements whilst maintaining minimal rotational resistance. These specifications ensure that whether you're running your ARRMA 6S brushless vehicle on high-grip racing surfaces or rough, rocky terrain typical of UK outdoor RC tracks and backyard bashing, the bearings will rotate smoothly and reliably. The variety of bearing sizes reflects the different load requirements across the vehicle—smaller bearings for steering and suspension components, larger bearings for high-load areas like the main driveshafts. The engineering behind this kit ensures that your brushless ESC and LiPo battery system can deliver their full potential without being compromised by worn bearings creating unnecessary friction and drag.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA vehicles does this bearing kit fit? — This bearing kit is specifically designed for the ARRMA Kraton 6S, OutCast 6S, Notorious 6S, Senton 6S, and Typhon 6S models, making it an essential upgrade or maintenance component for owners of these popular brushless RC vehicles available in the UK market.
- How often should I replace bearings in my ARRMA 6S? — The frequency of bearing replacement depends on usage intensity and driving conditions. Regular racers and bashers should inspect bearings every few months and replace them when they show signs of wear, grinding, or play. The metal shields on these bearings help extend their lifespan by protecting against contamination.
- Will this bearing kit improve my ARRMA 6S performance? — Yes, fresh bearings with minimal play and wear will noticeably improve handling response, acceleration smoothness and overall efficiency. Worn bearings create friction and rotational play that dampens performance, so replacing them with this kit restores your vehicle to optimal specifications.
- Are these genuine ARRMA bearings? — Yes, these are authentic ARRMA parts manufactured by Zen Bearings to ARRMA's specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your ARRMA 6S platform vehicle.
- How difficult is it to install these bearings? — Bearing replacement requires disassembling relevant chassis sections and suspension components. If you have moderate mechanical RC experience and basic tools, you can complete this maintenance yourself. However, if you're unfamiliar with RC vehicle assembly, consider asking an experienced RC technician or visiting your local RC hobby shop in the UK for installation assistance.
- Do I need all the bearings in this kit or just some of them? — This is a complete kit designed to replace bearings throughout your ARRMA 6S vehicle. However, you may not need to replace all bearings at once—you can replace them selectively based on wear inspection. Having the complete kit ensures you have everything needed for a full refresh.
