Regain laser-sharp steering precision and buttery-smooth brake engagement with a fresh set of premium sealed bearings.
Whether you are rebuilding a vintage basher's steering bellcranks, smoothing out a sticky brake cam, or overhauling your throttle linkages, the Classic RC 5x8x2.5mm Rubber Sealed Bearings are a must-have for the serious hobbyist. Factory bearings in these highly sensitive control areas often use metal shields that let ultra-fine track dust slip right past, turning your bearing races into a grinding paste that causes your steering to bind or your brakes to hang up. These upgraded bearings lock out the elements.
Featuring dual-sided, low-drag rubber seals, these precision 5x8x2.5mm (MR85-2RS) bearings hold premium lubricating grease in while keeping nitro grime, water, and dirt completely out. The result? A free-rolling steering rack and brake system that handles the abuse of heavy bash sessions and high-speed track days without seizing up mid-run.
Why You'll Love It
- Laser-Sharp Steering: Swap out those worn, gritty steering post bearings to eliminate slop and binding, bringing that factory-fresh steering response back to your rig.

Note: Always verify the required bearing dimensions in your vehicle's manual before ordering. Pro-Tip: Never use a heavy degreaser or brake cleaner on rubber-sealed bearings unless you plan to carefully pry the seals off and re-pack them with fresh grease. Solvents will strip the factory lubrication and ruin the bearing!
