Double bearings (x4)

Double bearings for 2.38 mm axle: the exact replacement for your Avant Slot raid

When it comes to keeping Avant Slot raid cars and trucks in perfect condition, choosing the right bearing makes the difference between smooth operation and premature wear. These double bearings are specifically designed to work with 2.38 mm (3/32) axles, the standard commonly used in the brand's raid models.

Function and performance

Double bearings offer a dual row of rolling elements that better distribute the radial and axial loads of the axle, reducing friction and prolonging the lifespan of both the bearing and the axle. In raid vehicles, where the distances are long and the traction demands are higher than in a conventional circuit car, having bearings in good condition translates to greater consistency and less power loss.

Compatibility

These bearings are compatible with 2.38 mm (3/32) axles and are designed to fit Avant Slot raid cars and trucks. Before purchasing, check that your model works with this axle diameter, as Avant Slot uses different sizes depending on the reference.

Installation and preparation

• Carefully remove the used bearings from their housings without forcing the chassis.
• Clean the housing before inserting the new bearings to remove any dirt or old lubricant residue.
• Press in with an appropriate tool or mounting aid; never with the axle itself, to avoid damage.
• Apply a minimal amount of specific slot bearing lubricant before mounting the axle.

Common mistakes

• Mixing diameters: using 3 mm bearings in 2.38 mm housings creates play and vibration. Always check the axle size.
• Installing without cleaning: accumulated dirt in the housing prevents the bearing from seating properly.
• Excess lubricant: can attract dust and accelerate wear instead of reducing it.

Frequently asked questions

Which Avant Slot models are these bearings for?

They are specifically designed for Avant Slot raid cars and trucks that use 2.38 mm (3/32) axles. Check your model's documentation to confirm the diameter before ordering.

What advantage does a double bearing offer over a single one?

The double bearing distributes loads better across both rows of rolling elements, which is particularly useful in raid vehicles, where the mechanical demands on the axles are greater than in a standard circuit car.

How often should I replace them?

It depends on usage, but in competition or intensive use models, it is recommended to check them after each long session. If you notice increased friction on the axle or hear unusual noise when turning, it is a sign that they should be replaced.

Do I need special tools for installation?

It is not essential, but it is advisable. A press tool or a small puller makes the operation easier and prevents damage to the chassis or the bearing itself during installation and removal.
