Traxxas Self-Lubricating Bushings 5x11x4mm 14 Piece Set TRX1675

Overview

The Traxxas Bushings, self-lubricating (5x11x4mm) (14 pcs) TRX1675 are essential wear-and-tear replacement parts for RC enthusiasts maintaining their Traxxas models. These precision-engineered bushings utilise Oilite self-lubricating technology, eliminating the need for regular oil applications and ensuring consistent performance throughout extended running sessions. Whether you operate an RC car UK market or are a serious hobbyist, these drivetrain spares are critical for maintaining the longevity and reliability of your Traxxas RC models.

Bushings are fundamental components in the drivetrain assembly of RC vehicles, providing low-friction bearing surfaces that allow smooth rotation of shafts and axles. Over time, with regular use and exposure to dust, dirt and moisture, bushings wear down and develop play in the drivetrain, which compromises handling precision and can lead to more serious mechanical failures. The TRX1675 pack of 14 bushings provides a complete replacement set for most Traxxas models, allowing you to refresh your drivetrain and restore your RC vehicle to like-new performance levels. The self-lubricating Oilite material means you won't need to maintain a separate oil application schedule, saving time and reducing the risk of over-lubrication which can attract debris.

Compatible with a wide range of Traxxas Rustler HD variants including the 1:10 Electric XL-5 2WD RTR Stadium Truck and the BL-2S 1:10 Electric 2WD RTR Stadium Truck, these bushings are an ideal maintenance upgrade for anyone serious about keeping their RC car in peak condition. Available through RC Model Shop, a trusted UK RC retailer, these genuine Traxxas parts ensure you're using OEM-quality components rather than inferior aftermarket alternatives that may compromise your vehicle's performance and longevity.

Key Features

• Self-lubricating Oilite material — The bushings are manufactured from Oilite, a sintered bronze material infused with lubricating oil that is gradually released during operation, eliminating the need for manual oil applications and reducing maintenance hassle while maintaining optimal friction characteristics.
• 5x11x4mm dimensions — These precision-sized bushings fit specifically into Traxxas drivetrain components, ensuring perfect fitment without modification and maintaining proper tolerances critical for smooth operation.
• Set of 14 bushings — The pack contains enough bushings to replace the complete drivetrain bushing set across most Traxxas models, providing comprehensive refresh capability in a single purchase.
• OEM Traxxas component — As original manufacturer parts, these bushings meet all Traxxas engineering specifications and quality standards, ensuring compatibility and performance that matches your vehicle's original configuration.
• Drivetrain spares classification — These are classified as drivetrain spares, meaning they are fundamental to the power transmission system and critical for maintaining handling characteristics and longevity of your RC vehicle.
• Wide model compatibility — Designed to fit multiple Traxxas Rustler HD variants across both XL-5 brushed and BL-2S brushless platforms, making these bushings versatile for owners of multiple Traxxas Stadium Truck models.

Technical Performance

The TRX1675 bushings represent precision engineering in miniature bearing design. Constructed from Oilite sintered bronze, these bushings operate on the principle of porous metallic bearings that retain lubricating oil within their matrix structure. As your RC car operates, friction gradually releases this oil onto the bearing surfaces, creating a thin hydrodynamic film that minimises wear and maintains smooth operation. The 5x11x4mm specification indicates an outer diameter of 11mm, an inner bore of 5mm, and a width of 4mm—precise dimensions that ensure these bushings fit perfectly into Traxxas drivetrain housings without rattling or excessive play. Unlike solid metal bushings which require external lubrication and are prone to seizing if neglected, the self-lubricating Oilite formula represents a significant maintenance advantage for RC enthusiasts who want reliability without constant upkeep. The set of 14 pieces provides sufficient replacement quantity for complete drivetrain refresh across Traxxas Rustler HD models, whether you're running the entry-level XL-5 brushed variant or the more advanced BL-2S brushless configuration. When bushings wear beyond acceptable tolerance, they introduce unwanted play in the drivetrain that degrades handling precision, increases noise, and can accelerate wear on other components. Installing fresh Traxxas TRX1675 bushings restores your vehicle to original specifications, improving handling response and extending the service life of related drivetrain components.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between self-lubricating bushings and standard metal bushings? — Self-lubricating Oilite bushings are sintered bronze bearings infused with lubricating oil that is gradually released during operation, eliminating the need for manual oil application. Standard metal bushings require regular external lubrication or they will seize and wear rapidly. The Oilite design is superior for RC applications because it provides consistent performance without maintenance and reduces the risk of over-lubrication that attracts dust and debris.
• How often should I replace bushings on my RC car? — Bushing replacement frequency depends on usage intensity. Casual weekend bashers might replace bushings annually or every two years, whilst competitive racers or heavy-use operators may need replacements every 6-12 months. Signs of worn bushings include excessive drivetrain play, rattling noises from the chassis, imprecise handling, and difficulty achieving consistent top speed. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's time to refresh your bushings.
• Are these bushings compatible with all Traxxas models? — No, these specific TRX1675 bushings are designed for Traxxas Rustler HD models. Compatible variants include the TRX37354-4 BL-2S 1:10 Electric 2WD RTR Stadium Truck in multiple colours (Red, Green, Blue, Orange) and the TRX37254-8 XL-5 1:10 Electric 2WD RTR Stadium Truck in multiple colours (Red, Orange, Green, Pink). Always verify your specific model number before purchasing to ensure fitment.
• Can I use aftermarket bushings instead of genuine Traxxas parts? — Whilst aftermarket alternatives may be cheaper, genuine Traxxas OEM parts like the TRX1675 are engineered to exact specifications for your vehicle's drivetrain tolerances. Using genuine parts ensures proper fitment, optimal performance, and maintains your RC car's longevity. Cheaper aftermarket bushings often have looser tolerances, leading to drivetrain play and premature wear of other components.
• Do these bushings require any maintenance after installation? — No, the self-lubricating Oilite material requires no maintenance. Unlike traditional bushings that need periodic oil applications, these bushings automatically release lubricating oil during operation. Simply install them and they'll provide consistent performance throughout their service life.
• How do I install these bushings? — Bushing replacement typically requires partial drivetrain disassembly and removal of old bushings from their housings. The process varies depending on your specific Rustler HD variant, but generally involves removing the slipper clutch assembly, transmission, or differential as needed. Consult your Traxxas model manual for detailed disassembly instructions. Once old bushings are removed, the new TRX1675 bushings can be pressed or tapped into place, ensuring they sit flush with the housing edges.
