I bought these bearings on Amazon. Here are the links to both bearing sizes: TRB 5x16x5 Bearings (10) on Amazon: amzn.to/3hiz2my TRB 5x13x4 Bearings (10) on Amazon: amzn.to/2Q5GWV8
Thank you so much! That is the main reason I made this video was because I couldn't find any information out there on it anywhere. Thank you so much for the like and comment, it means a lot to me.
Cant thank you enough for this video...thanks a BUNCH for all these precious informations now made easily available...arrma and spectrum should send a new truck your way just for this video...
It drives me crazy that they don’t give basic information like that, knowing we’re going to need it at some point. How hard is it for company’s to let us know the bearing sizes? I’ve spent hours looking up basic, easy for manufactures to let us know, information. Especially, new people like myself that know how to fix thing, just need a stupid size. Thank you for going through all that to save me and all of us time. Btw I hear lots of bad reviews because of the bearing issue on that motor, that’s why I looked before it happened. Super super appreciated!!!!
I felt the exact same way and was the main reason I decided to make the video as I couldn't find much on it, even here on RUclips. Thank you so much for watching and commenting...I'm glad it helped!!
My Big Rock stopped moving yesterday and I thought I was going to have to replace the motor but after watching your video I was able to determine my bearings are shot. You just saved me from having to buy a new motor. Thank you and just clicked that sub button.
Awesome!! If you ever lose steering, check the plug from the radio to the esc...I had that come loose one day and it was an easy fix, but almost overlooked it! Also, if you ever lose throttle after big jumps, check the 3 motor wires at the bullet connection, those sometimes come loose. Thanks for watching!
@@rcleesd Great information! I love how fun this hobby is, and I love the willingness of the community to help others. Wish I would of gotten into this sport years ago.
Awesome video. My motor seized up. The pulled the rotor out and all the bearings just fell out. Now the hard part is taking out the outer ring of the bearing. Thanks for the video.
Good luck with that outer ring of the bearing. Try to heat up the casing (it's aluminum so should change shape quickly) by either leaving it in the sun for a while or a blow dryer. Then, try to cool only the bearing (ice, frozen nail/screwdriver) by touching it with the cold item. Let me know how it goes!!
I got it out. It was pretty simple. I used a 1/2-13 flat bottom tap. Screw in the tap like I was going to thread a hole. Made sure it bottom out. Flipped the motor 180 and hit it out with a punch. I'm not a guy who likes making videos but might try to post something up to help others too.
thank you for this video. saved me $90 instead of buying a new motor, I already have it taken apart and ready for the new bearing! I appreciate you! new subscriber!
Thanks for the video! Just had the motor completely lock up on my big rock from what I assume was heat or dirt. One new ceramic bearing and we’re back in business.
I replaced the front bearing using your guide. I bought the bearings that you linked to. Guess what happened. The new bearings broke within 30 seconds of driving. 😮 I bought a new motor, hopefully that one lasts longer.
Great information Lee!! Thanks for taking the time to lay it out in detail. All this information is critical to doing this hobby without just throwing money at your problems. Besides, there is a level of satisfaction knowing you were able to fix your own parts!! You the man Dogg!! Keep doing it don’t stop!!
I have 3 arrma 3s motors with the bearings locked up. I'm waiting for my new bearings from Ebay. I paid 20$ for 4 bearings! Wish I saw your video sooner. Can't imagine how many people bought a new motor because of a 2$ bearing!
Just did mine in a new typhon v3 as a preventative measure as there are lots of reports of them disintegrating pretty fast although I suspect a tight mesh from factory is contributing a lot. Mine had a black rubber seal on and seemed perfect but hey ho it's done now, I put an SKF one in so hopefully that'll last a good while. TOP TIP- to get the old bearing out easily use the t bar from the wheel wrench and tap it down while holding the motor, comes out easy.
I appreciate this. My Typhon 3S V3 quit on me after a couple weeks with a failed bearing in the motor just as you have shown and replaced. I will be ordering these bearings as well for my new motor when it finally arrives. The original motor was so locked up, I couldn't remove the failed bearing. It was in shards.
Man, that's a bummer! I'm glad you found my video...keep an eye on that exposed bearing and replace when it gets worn and your new motor will last forever! Thanks for watching.
I bought a v3 big rock as soon as they came out and a week later the bearing ( large side ) exploded and locked the motor up. At the time I didnt know what the issue was. Arrma sent me a new motor same spec so I installed that and the old motor is sitting in my parts box. I did and would reccomend putting a small o ring on the shaft behind the pinion gear. It will keep dirt out. Just dont put more than one as it will cause the motor to drag against the end cap and will eventually burn up. I did this with the new motor and it has been perfect since. Thanks for the video! Great info.
head on crash for the second time on my typhon and just found that rattle in the motor shaft, motor doesn't sound smooth and quite anymore, thanks for the video now i gotta wait for the bearings!
Thank you. I never knew about the beveled side of the spacer. I recently checked my motor and the spacer was slightly chipped. I think it's because it was backwards. Replaced it the correct way with a spacer from another motor.
Thanks for the video man! The same thing happened to my big rock v3 on the 4th run. Unfortunately half of the bearing is still in the motor and I can’t get it out but luckily horizon is sending me a new motor when they get off of back order 👍
Nice!! They just sent me the V2 motor made by Arrma and said they might not be able to get that spektrum one anymore (probably because the bearings keep failing would be my guess).
Great video! I do repairs for a local hobby shop and ran into this bearing issue with one of the repairs. You saved me doing a lot of research. Thanks!
Great vid... after reading some comments on FB groups saying that this bearing change was difficult and then seeing this vid has me feeling great on how easy it is.. Great job man
Great stuff new to your channel.I found answers thank so much.I was having a hard time myself,then i found this channel.Thanks for taking time to do the research and sharing it with us.See you on the next on.Stay Safe Stay Healthy
Very helpful post. My typhon motor froze up and horizon is shipping a replacement but I took my old motor apart And the same bearing was obliterated. Just balls and shards of metal...and grease of course 🙄. Can't get the race of the dead bearing to budge though.
It is very difficult. I believe the housing and cap are aluminum, so maybe try to heat it up and the steel bearing shouldn't expand as much as the aluminum, and you might be able to get the rest out. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@RC Lee hey thanx for the link to bearings. My bearings were so bad well just the one in the nose that i couldn't get any numbers off of it , i got the number from the rear bearing and it ended up being to small when i took the race out and matched it up im in the process of repairing my motor only after about 9 or 10 runs and the bearing is blown out
I see you did a wonderful work for changing the motor bearings especially the big one 5x16x5. For me I am still suffering from that. And I couldn’t fit it , so if you don’t mind to show me an easier way
Try heat and cold (freezer or sunshine) to expand the aluminum housing and try putting the bearing in a sealed zip lock bag into the fridge or freezer for an hour.
Thanks man!! Awesomeness.. I really do appreciate this video and your time that it took to figure all this out And to make the video!! Thanks for the link for the bearings!! Your a lifesaver my man!! Just ordered me a set ✅
I am waiting on my replacement bearings. I had to make a Hook from a Small blade Screw Driver as a tool to remove the Rear Bearing.. Used a propane torch to heat the rear cap held by the Pliers.. Then I slowly pride the bearing out.. It was not easy.. I would love to see Bread Crumbs remove Yours...😂 I personally don't believe that at All..
I literally just had the same thing...motor seems to have went bad after 3rd week of driving it. How'd you get them to replace it? I did the email-ticket thing...
Well thanks for letting me know. I could have swore that the new motors had the same size bearings and the old one has two different sizes. I think the one I ordered from tbr had all 3 bearings just in case. Well I hope lol.
Interesting, that may be the case, production has been crazy lately and companies are using what they can get these days. Let me know when you get it taken apart, if they are the same size or not. Thanks for watching!
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your discoveries! and explaining it so clearly and with such detail. A lot of videos are a "hey, look I did something amazing" and doesn't really cover how to do it yourself, so thanks for taking the time to explain it so other people can do it too. Guess who has a new subscriber? Who's the idiot who disliked this? Gosh, such disrespect for your hard work.
Thank you so much! After not finding any information about it here on RUclips, I figured it would be worth the time to share the info. I am humbled and appreciate you taking the time to thank me for it. Thanks for watching!
Great video and very well narrated. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video. It is really helpful as I'm in the process of rebuilding a motor and wasn't aware of the order and orientation of the rear washers.👍👍
That's interesting...... I got a bunch of Arrma Granites well I got alot of Arrma and traxxas trucks and a few other brands. But anyway my Granites all had Arrma branded motors.... I got the BLX v3s and they have the BLX 3660 3200kv motors.. I haven't gotten one with a stock spektrum 3660 3200 motor.. that's pretty cool bro and those are my V3 trucks.. my v2 and OG V1 granites also had the BLX motors same size same kv.. and I even ordered two new Granites from horizon hobby I picked up a new mega v3 and a blx v3 and they legitimately just showed up a hour ago.. and my blx has a blx motor as well.. that's cool you got the better motor lol.. I normally swap my blx motors and ESC's for real spektrums and remove Arrmas blx / spektrum hybrids. I mean nothing wrong with the BLX systems but I found out that true spektrum esc and motors work better and seem to have more "ass" behind em.. excuse the language 😂. But it's true.. now one of my Granites I built up is my project joker truck.. it's got the outcast 4s body which is black I put the arrma Skinz joker skin on the chassis which I paid alot to get it here to north Carolina lol. It's normal 15 dollars but shipping across the atlantic ocean is like 35 dollars lol.. so I ended up spending 50 dollars for it.... But I got two I got the joker and the lollipop girl for my Granites and ordered more yesterday for my outcast 6s ect. But anyway my project Granite mega v3 has all metal arms shocks rods it came stock with metal gearing but I went ahead and swapped em out for hot racing bullet proof diffs so it's all metal now I made a custom aluminum center drive shaft at my dad's machine shop it's hella nice and it's anodized to a candy apple green color. My motor and spur module is aluminum also green my arms are green my rods are purple shocks are purple but I also got green ones as well. It's 99% integy hop ups. Now the motor is a 4076 surpass 2200kv it's black with the fins on it and the esc is a hobbywing Quicrun BL 120 and I run it on my Ovonic 5200 50c 3s lipos. Which I love those batteries very durable and trustworthy batteries. I had one of em charged fully for 3 weeks I totally forgotten bout it and I went to check it n discharge it and balance back out.. and when I checked it it was still at 12.6 V all cells where equal still..... 99% capacity which 3 of my chargers said the same thing.. so yeah those Ovonics are amazing. So I run them 110% on everything.. but yeah man you can put a 4076 size motor in your Granites it leaves a 1/4" space between the back plate and the reciver box you would have to press a little harder to get the motor out but it's worth it 😂.. it's so much faster then it was with my blx 3200 and my outcast 4s motor which is a 3668 size which is also a really good upgrade to a bigger motor. But that 4076 is a straight up monster in the granite. Way more torque and top end I got a 17t pinion on a 57 spur all mod 1 all steel atm. My other granites except my new mega v3 I just got which is my 4th mega truck all has hot racing and other steel spurs in them.
Thank you for the thoughtful response, I really enjoyed reading it! That's so cool that you made a custom center driveshaft! I bet that purple and green looks amazing! I'll have to take a look at those Ovonic batteries...Ive been using spektrum batteries, but keep losing cell balance, even after balancing, so I'm getting some dead cells, but might be from the hard bashing, not sure. Thanks for all the info and tips, I really appreciate it!
This video really helped, but man that was a pain to do. The bearing really didn’t want to go in at all and it wouldn’t fully seat no matter what i did
Yeah, it is very difficult. I think heating up the aluminum slightly (to like 90 degrees) helps expand it a tad and can also help with removal...a blow dryer seems to be the most efficient and safe way to warm the metal. Thanks for watching and commenting!
thanks for this information you just saved me the searching of what bearings to deal with! Btw, when you seated the inner bearing did it seal completely from the pinion side? It looks like mine is in after a few taps, but there’s still a small gap between the bearing and hole where the pinion shaft goes out
Great video thanks for making it .I know for sure it will help many people. I've been stripping my pinoin gear from my v5 typhon since the vary first run .my mesh is correct with my new pinion gear but I'm already noticing wear on it again I will take a look at my bearings because the car is brand new and I'm not sure what els could be causing this
No worries thank you so much. Got a question too ask? Where do you get those shims on back of the motor. You know the sad face things. I have another motor I'm fixing and now know why it broke on me. Thanks to your video. But I must have lost those when I took the motor apart a year ago. If could tell me what or part number would be great. Thank you!! ☠️💯🥃
@@skeletorrc2583 Honestly, I don't know where to buy them. My best guess would be to try to source something similar to those at a hobby shop or Home Depot. I doubt that Amazon would carry them, but possibly on Ebay. Maybe you could try to contact Spektrum directly, but I think you have to go through Horizon. Their solution would be to send a new motor though. Good luck and let me know if you find a solution!
I have found some on Amazon that come in a kit. 200+ different sizes. From 3mm too 30mm so we will see. Thank you for responding if they are it I will gladly sure the info with you. ☠️🧟
My local shop didn't have the bearings in stock so I called arrma direct. I explained my motor was messing up and the internal bearings were shot. He said they know that motor has had known issues and did not have part numbers for the bearings. So instead they are sending me a new motor (and new steering servo cause I had to replace that 2 weeks ago) for no charge, even free shipping. I figured I'd post that information incase anyone else had the same issue. I'll get the bearings ordered on line and have a backup motor now.
@@rcleesd My bearing had a complete failure and came completely apart inside the engine. Getting all the broken pieces was easy, but getting the race out was a pain! The only way I was able to get the rest of the bearing out was to drill 2 1/16 holes on either side of where the shafts comes threw and use a small punch to tap it out. Once the new bearings come in and I get everything back together I plan on putting silicone over the holes to keep moisture and dust/ dirt out of it and this will be a backup motor. Think the silicone will work or is there something else I should use to seal it?
I bought these bearings on Amazon. Here are the links to both bearing sizes:
TRB 5x16x5 Bearings (10) on Amazon: amzn.to/3hiz2my
TRB 5x13x4 Bearings (10) on Amazon: amzn.to/2Q5GWV8
You guys are awesome thank you
Thank you
Okay well when I tried to put the 5*16*5 in it was bigger
@@carolynhitt1916 V3 has the big and small bearing....V1 and V2 have two of the smaller bearings.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool thanks for the info 🤘😬🍻
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Excellent information here . Thanks
My pleasure. Thank you for watching!
Told the wife I'd stop at 7 RC's. Just the body alone! The smaller tires probably help with handling!
For sure! Seven RCs is a good number. 👍
Well thanks for letting me know. I could have swore that the new motors had the same size bearings and the old one has two different sizes. I think the one I ordered from tbr had all 3 bearings just in case. Well I hope lol.
Interesting, that may be the case, production has been crazy lately and companies are using what they can get these days. Let me know when you get it taken apart, if they are the same size or not. Thanks for watching!
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your discoveries! and explaining it so clearly and with such detail. A lot of videos are a "hey, look I did something amazing" and doesn't really cover how to do it yourself, so thanks for taking the time to explain it so other people can do it too. Guess who has a new subscriber?
Who's the idiot who disliked this? Gosh, such disrespect for your hard work.
Thank you so much! After not finding any information about it here on RUclips, I figured it would be worth the time to share the info. I am humbled and appreciate you taking the time to thank me for it. Thanks for watching!
@@rcleesd totally. Good info and well put together. Audio was good too. No complaints. Gotta give credit where its due.
Great video and very well narrated. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video. It is really helpful as I'm in the process of rebuilding a motor and wasn't aware of the order and orientation of the rear washers.👍👍
@@danstew100 Thanks for watching!
Need help please 🙏 , my bearing shat itself and the outer shell of the bearing case is still in there how do I get it out olz help
Sorry for the late response! Try heat or cold to help shrink or expand the metal parts.
Thanks for this! Great info!!
You are very welcome, I hope it helped!!
Thanks man.my bearing on my old 4s motor blx just bust.was puzzled until I saw this.hard to find these bearings in England. peace
You're welcome! Best of luck finding the bearings, hopefully soon!
Good knowledge, that’s for sharing

Good job. Really nice video. Two thumbs up Thank you
Thank you!
That's interesting...... I got a bunch of Arrma Granites well I got alot of Arrma and traxxas trucks and a few other brands. But anyway my Granites all had Arrma branded motors.... I got the BLX v3s and they have the BLX 3660 3200kv motors.. I haven't gotten one with a stock spektrum 3660 3200 motor.. that's pretty cool bro and those are my V3 trucks.. my v2 and OG V1 granites also had the BLX motors same size same kv.. and I even ordered two new Granites from horizon hobby I picked up a new mega v3 and a blx v3 and they legitimately just showed up a hour ago.. and my blx has a blx motor as well.. that's cool you got the better motor lol.. I normally swap my blx motors and ESC's for real spektrums and remove Arrmas blx / spektrum hybrids. I mean nothing wrong with the BLX systems but I found out that true spektrum esc and motors work better and seem to have more "ass" behind em.. excuse the language 😂. But it's true.. now one of my Granites I built up is my project joker truck.. it's got the outcast 4s body which is black I put the arrma Skinz joker skin on the chassis which I paid alot to get it here to north Carolina lol. It's normal 15 dollars but shipping across the atlantic ocean is like 35 dollars lol.. so I ended up spending 50 dollars for it.... But I got two I got the joker and the lollipop girl for my Granites and ordered more yesterday for my outcast 6s ect. But anyway my project Granite mega v3 has all metal arms shocks rods it came stock with metal gearing but I went ahead and swapped em out for hot racing bullet proof diffs so it's all metal now I made a custom aluminum center drive shaft at my dad's machine shop it's hella nice and it's anodized to a candy apple green color. My motor and spur module is aluminum also green my arms are green my rods are purple shocks are purple but I also got green ones as well. It's 99% integy hop ups. Now the motor is a 4076 surpass 2200kv it's black with the fins on it and the esc is a hobbywing Quicrun BL 120 and I run it on my Ovonic 5200 50c 3s lipos. Which I love those batteries very durable and trustworthy batteries. I had one of em charged fully for 3 weeks I totally forgotten bout it and I went to check it n discharge it and balance back out.. and when I checked it it was still at 12.6 V all cells where equal still..... 99% capacity which 3 of my chargers said the same thing.. so yeah those Ovonics are amazing. So I run them 110% on everything.. but yeah man you can put a 4076 size motor in your Granites it leaves a 1/4" space between the back plate and the reciver box you would have to press a little harder to get the motor out but it's worth it 😂.. it's so much faster then it was with my blx 3200 and my outcast 4s motor which is a 3668 size which is also a really good upgrade to a bigger motor. But that 4076 is a straight up monster in the granite. Way more torque and top end I got a 17t pinion on a 57 spur all mod 1 all steel atm. My other granites except my new mega v3 I just got which is my 4th mega truck all has hot racing and other steel spurs in them.
Thank you for the thoughtful response, I really enjoyed reading it! That's so cool that you made a custom center driveshaft! I bet that purple and green looks amazing! I'll have to take a look at those Ovonic batteries...Ive been using spektrum batteries, but keep losing cell balance, even after balancing, so I'm getting some dead cells, but might be from the hard bashing, not sure. Thanks for all the info and tips, I really appreciate it!
Thank. You!
You are very welcome!
Cheers mate!
Thanks for watching!!
This video really helped, but man that was a pain to do. The bearing really didn’t want to go in at all and it wouldn’t fully seat no matter what i did
Yeah, it is very difficult. I think heating up the aluminum slightly (to like 90 degrees) helps expand it a tad and can also help with removal...a blow dryer seems to be the most efficient and safe way to warm the metal. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Definitely a great video ,thanks
Thanks for watching!
thank you for this video. it's very helpful.
You are very welcome, glad it helped!
Great information, keep it up!
Thank you!
Good stuff man, great info!
Thank you!
Thank you so much
You are very welcome!
thanks for this information you just saved me the searching of what bearings to deal with! Btw, when you seated the inner bearing did it seal completely from the pinion side? It looks like mine is in after a few taps, but there’s still a small gap between the bearing and hole where the pinion shaft goes out
As long as everything runs smoothly you should be ok.
Great video!! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks. I appreciate this vid. I’m going to subscribe
Thanks for watching and substring!
Great video thanks for making it .I know for sure it will help many people. I've been stripping my pinoin gear from my v5 typhon since the vary first run .my mesh is correct with my new pinion gear but I'm already noticing wear on it again I will take a look at my bearings because the car is brand new and I'm not sure what els could be causing this
I think it is movement in the adjustable motor mount, but not sure that's what it is...definitely annoying!
@@rcleesd I'll keep a close eye on that thanks for the info
Nice vid due...helpful👌👌👌
You're welcome!
thanjks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful thank you.
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
Very helpful. Thank you!! 🧟
Thanks for watching, glad it helped!
No worries thank you so much. Got a question too ask? Where do you get those shims on back of the motor. You know the sad face things. I have another motor I'm fixing and now know why it broke on me. Thanks to your video. But I must have lost those when I took the motor apart a year ago. If could tell me what or part number would be great. Thank you!! ☠️💯🥃
@@skeletorrc2583 Honestly, I don't know where to buy them. My best guess would be to try to source something similar to those at a hobby shop or Home Depot. I doubt that Amazon would carry them, but possibly on Ebay. Maybe you could try to contact Spektrum directly, but I think you have to go through Horizon. Their solution would be to send a new motor though. Good luck and let me know if you find a solution!
I have found some on Amazon that come in a kit. 200+ different sizes. From 3mm too 30mm so we will see. Thank you for responding if they are it I will gladly sure the info with you. ☠️🧟
My local shop didn't have the bearings in stock so I called arrma direct. I explained my motor was messing up and the internal bearings were shot. He said they know that motor has had known issues and did not have part numbers for the bearings. So instead they are sending me a new motor (and new steering servo cause I had to replace that 2 weeks ago) for no charge, even free shipping. I figured I'd post that information incase anyone else had the same issue. I'll get the bearings ordered on line and have a backup motor now.
That is great news! Thank you so much for sharing that information, I appreciate it!
@@rcleesd My bearing had a complete failure and came completely apart inside the engine. Getting all the broken pieces was easy, but getting the race out was a pain! The only way I was able to get the rest of the bearing out was to drill 2 1/16 holes on either side of where the shafts comes threw and use a small punch to tap it out. Once the new bearings come in and I get everything back together I plan on putting silicone over the holes to keep moisture and dust/ dirt out of it and this will be a backup motor. Think the silicone will work or is there something else I should use to seal it?
@@corymra hmmmm, that's a good question...I guess silicone would be best.
