Overview
The Losi 4 x 8 x 3mm Bushing, oil-Embedded (6) Z-LOS267001 is an essential replacement and upgrade component for RC enthusiasts maintaining and tuning their Losi RC models. These oil-embedded bushings are precision-engineered bearing components designed to reduce friction and wear in critical pivot points throughout your RC car's chassis and suspension system. Whether you're a seasoned RC racer in the UK looking to optimise performance, a weekend basher maintaining your RC car, or an RC hobbyist building from scratch, having quality replacement bushings on hand is crucial for keeping your vehicle running smoothly and extending component lifespan.
Oil-embedded bushings represent a significant upgrade over standard dry bushings, as the integrated oil lubrication provides continuous, self-lubricating performance without requiring constant maintenance or re-lubrication during use. This means less friction between moving parts, smoother suspension articulation, and more predictable handling characteristics—all vital for competitive racing or recreational driving. The 4 x 8 x 3mm dimensions make these bushings suitable for a wide range of Losi models, and this pack contains six individual bushings, giving you enough components to service multiple joints or keep spares for future maintenance.
For RC car enthusiasts across the UK seeking reliable OEM Losi spares and tune-up parts, this bushing set offers genuine quality you can trust. These are not cheap imitations; they are authentic Losi components manufactured to exacting standards. Whether you're upgrading worn bushings from an older model or building a new RC car from a kit, these oil-embedded bushings will improve your vehicle's performance and durability compared to standard alternatives.
Key Features
- Oil-Embedded Design — The integrated oil lubrication in these bushings provides continuous, self-lubricating action throughout your RC car's operation, eliminating the need for frequent re-lubrication and reducing friction in critical suspension and chassis pivot points for smoother, more responsive handling.
- Precision Dimensions — The 4 x 8 x 3mm size is engineered to fit specific mounting points across multiple Losi RC models, ensuring exact compatibility and optimal performance in suspension arms, uprights, and chassis components.
- Pack of Six Units — This set includes six individual bushings, providing enough components to service multiple suspension joints, pivot points, or keep spares for future maintenance and repairs without needing to reorder.
- Genuine Losi Components — These are authentic OEM Losi parts manufactured to the same quality standards as the original equipment, guaranteeing reliability and durability that matches your vehicle's design specifications.
- Performance Upgrade Potential — Replacing worn or standard bushings with oil-embedded alternatives can significantly improve suspension articulation, reduce play in joints, and enhance overall RC car handling precision, making them ideal for both competitive racing and recreational use.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Oil-embedded bushings are a crucial part of any serious RC enthusiast's spares collection, offering long-term value by reducing wear on other suspension components and extending the service life of your RC model.
Technical Performance
The Losi 4 x 8 x 3mm oil-embedded bushings represent a practical engineering solution to one of the most common sources of wear in RC cars: friction at pivot joints. Unlike standard dry bushings that can cause binding, noise, and accelerated wear, these oil-embedded components utilise an integrated lubrication system that continuously reduces friction between the bushing bore and the shaft or axle passing through it. This design is particularly beneficial in suspension arms, chassis mounting points, and steering components where smooth, consistent motion is essential for handling precision and vehicle longevity. The oil-embedding process involves saturating the bushing material with a specially formulated lubricant that gradually releases during operation, providing self-sufficing lubrication for thousands of operating cycles. This means you get better suspension action, more predictable cornering behaviour, and reduced mechanical noise during your RC sessions. The 4 x 8 x 3mm specification fits a range of Losi vehicles, and with six units in this pack, you have enough to replace bushings across multiple suspension points or create a maintenance spares kit. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand quality and performance from their models, these genuine Losi bushings are an affordable, intelligent investment in your vehicle's long-term reliability and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are oil-embedded bushings and why should I use them in my RC car? — Oil-embedded bushings are precision-engineered bearing components with integrated lubrication built into the material itself. As your RC car operates, the oil gradually releases, providing continuous, self-lubricating action at critical pivot points. This reduces friction, minimises wear on suspension components, improves handling precision, and extends the lifespan of moving parts compared to standard dry bushings. They're particularly valuable for racers and serious hobbyists who want smoother suspension action and more predictable vehicle behaviour.
- Are these compatible with all Losi RC models? — The 4 x 8 x 3mm dimensions are suitable for a range of Losi models, but compatibility varies depending on your specific vehicle platform. Before purchasing, check your Losi vehicle's manual or parts diagram to confirm that this bushing size matches your model's suspension and chassis requirements. If you're unsure, contact RC Model Shop for specific compatibility guidance.
- How many bushings do I need to fully service my Losi RC car? — The number of bushings you'll need depends on your specific Losi model, as different vehicles have varying numbers of suspension and chassis pivot points. Most Losi models typically use between 8 and 12 bushings for a complete suspension refresh. This six-pack is ideal for partial upgrades, maintenance of key joints, or keeping as spares. If you're doing a full rebuild, you may need multiple packs.
- Do I need to replace bushings regularly, and if so, how often? — The frequency of bushing replacement depends on how intensively you use your RC car. Recreational bashers might find that oil-embedded bushings last many months of regular use, whilst competitive racers may replace them more frequently. Signs that bushings need replacement include loose or sloppy suspension movement, clicking or rattling noises from suspension joints, and inconsistent handling. Regular inspection of suspension play helps identify when replacement is necessary.
- What is the difference between oil-embedded bushings and standard plastic or rubber bushings? — Standard dry bushings offer basic functionality but can wear quickly, require frequent lubrication, and may cause binding or noise in suspension joints. Oil-embedded bushings integrate lubrication directly into the material, providing superior friction reduction, longer service life, smoother operation, and minimal maintenance compared to dry alternatives. They're the preferred choice for serious RC enthusiasts who want better performance and durability.
- Are these genuine Losi parts? — Yes, the Z-LOS267001 is an authentic OEM Losi component part number. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're buying genuine original equipment that meets Losi's manufacturing standards and quality specifications, ensuring compatibility and reliability with your Losi RC model.
