Axle bearings (but for karts, bearings are used at the front and in the engine) serve to reduce friction and wear between two rotating and connected components. They are composed of 4 main elements: two rings (one inner and one external), with rolling elements inside them (generally rollers or balls) and a cage that contains them and keeps them in place (to find out more, read, "
Tech Talk | Axle bearings"). We selected 5 bearings, with costs from 14 to over 100 Euros, dedicated to the Senior/Junior world (Shifter and Direct Drive) and compatible with most chassis brands, thanks to rather standardised sizes.
N.B. Do you think there are other products that can be added to this selection? Do not hesitate to share them with other TKART users in the "Contributions" section at the end of the article. The community will be grateful to you!
