Technical Performance

The Fastrax 6mm X 12mm X 4mm Teflon Shielded Bearing represents precision engineering designed specifically for the demands of modern RC vehicles. The bearing dimensions of 6mm inner bore, 12mm outer diameter and 4mm width make it suitable for a wide variety of RC applications where small precision bearings are required for drivetrain components, steering linkages and other moving assemblies. The Teflon shield technology is a critical feature that sets this bearing apart from standard unsealed alternatives, as it provides a protective layer that keeps contaminants out whilst allowing smooth rotation. This is particularly important for UK RC enthusiasts who may be running their models through wet grass, muddy terrain or dusty environments where contamination is a real concern.
