Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bushing compatible with my 1/10 scale buggy?

Yes. The 0.249‑inch diameter is a standard size used across many 1/10, 1/8, and 1/12 scale models.

Can I use this bushing in a high‑torque off‑road truck?

Absolutely. The polymer material is engineered to handle high torque and harsh terrain while maintaining low friction.

Do I need to lubricate the bushing after installation?

Lubrication is optional. For most applications, a light coat of silicone grease will improve smoothness without affecting durability.

How does this bushing compare to metal bushings?

Unlike metal, this polymer bushing provides quieter operation, less weight, and better resistance to corrosion. It also offers self‑lubricating properties that extend service intervals.
