Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if the PM-56C shield set is compatible with my kart bearings?
A: These shields are specifically designed for small bearings with a 1.605" race outer diameter. They are compatible with RBI, Tuck-n-Run, and FSB small bearing configurations commonly found in various kart chassis.
Q: Is the installation process difficult?
A: Not at all. The shields are designed for a quick, snap-in installation. They are intended to be a straightforward upgrade that saves you time during your race-day prep.
Q: Why should I use bearing shields instead of running open bearings?
A: Running open bearings exposes them to track debris like sand, dirt, and water, which increases friction and leads to premature wear. These shields create a protective seal that reduces friction buildup, promotes freer wheel spin, and helps prevent mid-season bearing failures.
Q: Will these shields help me improve my lap times?
A: Yes. By reducing drag and friction within the bearing assembly, you allow for smoother wheel rotation. This efficiency can help you maintain better momentum through corners and potentially shave precious tenths off your lap times.
