Kyosho Mini-Z AWD ball bearing set by 3Racing AWD-22  [AWD-22]

Mini-Z AWD upgrade bearings

This ball bearing set is an RC-scale replacement part intended for Kyosho Mini-Z AWD platforms, supplied as 3Racing AWD-22. It serves as a direct upgrade option where designers or hobbyists seek reduced friction in rotating assemblies compared with plain bushings.

The set focuses on drivetrain consistency and smoother hub rotation in Mini-Z AWD layouts. Typical use is to replace worn or stock sliding bearings in the Mini-Z AWD drivetrain to restore free-running behaviour and reduce energy loss through axle and differential interfaces, helping the car respond more predictably in tight tuning trims.

Installation is straightforward for experienced Mini-Z technicians: remove the original bearing elements from the hubs or carrier, press the new bearings into place ensuring proper seating, and check axial and radial play before reassembly. Keep the bearings free of grit and apply only manufacturer-recommended lubrication methods if needed to maintain smooth operation.
