Hiya Guys,

Before I spend countless hours trawling bearings, have they released a set of bearings yet for the road wheels on the Pz4J ?

I haven't as yet got the model in my hands, so its hard to see what im trying to achive, but the Tamiya Online manual for this Tank lists the bearings as item# MB7 ?

can someone confirm this?

All it needs, if there hasnt already beena set released, is to assertain the size of the existing bushes, and to find a bearing that fits the bill, there are hundreds of sizes across the board on Heli's and Cars it stands to reason that there would *MOST PROBABLY* already be a bearing thats exactly right for the job

Anyone able to list the sizes so we can have a look into it?

Hey Chris, like it was said before I don't think anyone has put together a set dedicated for this kit yet but that doesn't mean that there are not bearings for it. I would measure the bushings and then contact a supplier that sells bearings and go from there.

found a UK Site thats just got a load of new parts for the PZ4J but no bearings as yet lol

Nice replacement metal hatches, metal road wheels, metal sprockets

can you tell me, whats the intended purpose of 3:1 Reduced Ratio Gearboxes?

High Grade Heavy Duty Metal Gearboxes i can understand

More realistic speeds and in IR battling, better power management and maneuverability after the 3rd or 4th hit on the TBU.

i have bearings in my p4j and there is a little bit of work to install them they are 7mmx 3mm

Maybe you could give everyone here some tips on what it takes to install them?

all you need to do is redrill the bronze bushing hole in the wheel to 7 mm 3mm deap on both sides press the bearing in and install wheel as normal

That's good to know. [sm=thumbs_up.gif] I personally don't have that kit but it might help out those that want bearings.
