KRYTAC Steel Caged 8mm Bearing Set (6no)

Six bearings is a full set — three gears, two sides each. Replacing them as a set is the only way to get even rotation, because a tired bearing on one axle loads the gear unevenly and that is what wears teeth.

The steel cage is the specification that matters. It keeps the bearing together under the shock loads a gearbox delivers, where an open or soft-caged bearing is the part that collapses first and takes the shell bearing seat with it.

Krytac’s own claims are the right ones: smoother gear rotation with minimal resistance, steadier rotation to reduce wear, and less heat and friction so the bearings hold their shape over time.

They are 8mm, which is the common size across most V2 and V3 gearboxes.

Specifications

Good to know before you buy

Six is a complete set. Fitting two or four leaves mismatched bearings on the same gear train.

Eight millimetre is the common bushing and bearing size. If your gearbox is 6mm or 7mm this is not the right set, and we can point you at the correct one.

Frequently asked questions

Why six?
Three gears with two bearings each. A full set is the only way to get even rotation across the gear train.

What does the steel cage do?
It holds the bearing together under shock loads. Weaker cages are the part that collapses and damages the shell seat.

Will they fit my gearbox?
They are 8mm, which covers most V2 and V3 gearboxes. If yours is 6mm or 7mm you need a different size.

Bearings or bushings?
Bearings spin more freely and suit higher rates of fire. Solid bushings take a harder hit and suit very high spring rates. Both are valid.
