Avant Slot AV20405 Bearings: Less Friction, More Track Performance

When we aim to gain tenths on the track, mechanical details make the difference. These bearings from Avant Slot (reference AV20405) are made from high-strength engineering plastic, a material that drastically reduces friction compared to conventional metal solutions and directly contributes to better power transmission from the motor to the wheels.

Function and Performance

The bearing is one of those components that goes unnoticed until it fails or is worn out. A damaged bearing generates unnecessary friction, raises the temperature, and hinders the overall performance. These technical plastic bearings eliminate that problem: the material absorbs heat in a controlled manner and keeps friction to a minimum throughout the session.

• Diameter: 2.38 mm (3/32)
• Material: high-strength engineering plastic
• Reduced friction compared to conventional metal alternatives
• Two lubrication ports for direct access to the centre of the bearing without disassembly
• Pack of 2 units

Integrated Lubrication System

One of the most valued aspects of this design is the presence of two entry holes that allow for direct lubrication of the bearing centre. This facilitates preventive maintenance without the need to disassemble the assembly each time, something that both workshop preparers and club drivers appreciate when they want to quickly check the car between heats.

Compatibility and Installation

The diameter of 2.38 mm (3/32) corresponds to the most widely used standard in competition slot racing. It is the usual size for rear axles in a wide variety of chassis and cars from brands like Avant Slot, among others. Always check the tolerances of your base or chassis before installing them to ensure the fit is correct.

Ideal for…

• Club drivers who want to keep their car performing at its best between races.
• Preparers working with competition chassis who pay attention to every source of friction.
• Enthusiasts performing preventive maintenance who want reliable spare parts on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What advantage does engineering plastic have over metal in a bearing?

Engineering plastic generates less friction with the axle and has some self-lubricating capability, resulting in less energy loss and less heat generated during operation. With prolonged use, it also tends to wear the axle less.

What are the two lubrication ports for?

They allow lubricant to be applied directly to the centre of the bearing without the need for disassembly. This is an important practical advantage for quick maintenance between heats or training sessions.

Is this diameter of 2.38 mm (3/32) the most common in slot racing?

Yes, 3/32 is one of the most widely used standards in competition slot racing and is present in a large number of chassis and prepared cars. Always check the specifications of your setup before installing them.

How many units are included in the pack?

The pack includes 2 bearings, sufficient to equip the rear axle of a car.

What lubricant is recommended for use with them?

The available information does not specify a particular lubricant. In general, for engineering plastic bearings, it is recommended to use specific lubricants for slot or modelling that do not attack the plastic material. Consult your usual preparer if you have any doubts.
