Overview
The Traxxas Bushings, self-lubricating (5x8x2.5mm) (12 pcs) TRX3775 are essential replacement parts for RC car enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliable performance and durability from their models. These precision-engineered bushings are designed to reduce friction and wear in critical pivot points throughout your RC vehicle's chassis and suspension system. Whether you're a seasoned competitor running your RC car at the track, a weekend basher enjoying high-speed runs in the park, or a dedicated hobbyist maintaining your fleet of RC models, having quality replacement bushings on hand ensures your vehicle continues to perform at its best.
Self-lubricating bushings are a critical component in any modern RC car UK setup, providing smooth articulation and extended lifespan for suspension arms, steering components, and chassis pivot points. The Traxxas range of replacement parts has become the industry standard for serious RC enthusiasts, recognised for their quality, precision fit, and genuine OEM compatibility. Unlike inferior aftermarket alternatives, these authentic Traxxas self-lubricating bushings maintain their performance characteristics over extended use, ensuring your RC vehicle handles predictably whether you're running on tarmac, carpet, grass or dirt.
When your RC car's bushings wear out, steering response becomes sluggish, suspension articulation becomes notchy, and handling characteristics suffer noticeably. By replacing worn bushings with these genuine Traxxas self-lubricating components, you'll restore your vehicle to factory-fresh performance levels and extend the overall lifespan of your RC car investment.
Key Features
- Self-Lubricating Material — These bushings are manufactured from Oilite material, a sintered bronze composite that contains microscopic oil reservoirs, eliminating the need for manual lubrication whilst reducing friction between moving parts and significantly extending component lifespan compared to standard plastic bushings.
- Precise Dimensions (5x8x2.5mm) — The exact 5mm inner diameter, 8mm outer diameter, and 2.5mm thickness specifications ensure perfect fit in Traxxas RC vehicles, providing zero tolerance gaps that maintain precise handling characteristics and prevent unintended movement.
- Pack of Twelve Units — This generous quantity of twelve bushings provides complete replacement coverage for virtually all pivot points on a typical Traxxas RC car, including front and rear suspension arms, steering components, and chassis connection points, allowing for a comprehensive refresh during maintenance.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Parts — As original manufacturer components, these bushings are engineered to exact Traxxas specifications, guaranteeing perfect compatibility with all compatible Traxxas RC models and ensuring consistent performance that matches your vehicle's original setup.
- Reduced Maintenance Requirements — The self-lubricating properties mean you won't need to constantly apply oil or grease to these components, saving time during your maintenance routine whilst keeping dirt and debris from accumulating on lubricated surfaces.
- Extended Component Life — By minimising friction and wear, these bushings protect connected suspension arms, pivot shafts, and chassis components from accelerated wear, effectively extending the overall maintenance intervals for your RC vehicle.
Technical Performance
These self-lubricating bushings represent the pinnacle of RC chassis component engineering, utilising sintered Oilite bronze material that has been refined through decades of industrial bearing applications. The 5x8x2.5mm dimensions have been precisely specified by Traxxas engineers to provide optimal clearances and load-bearing capacity throughout the suspension and steering systems of compatible RC car models. The self-lubricating construction means that the microscopic porosity within the Oilite material naturally releases lubricant during operation, maintaining a protective film between the inner and outer surfaces even during intense racing or bashing sessions. This engineering approach eliminates the sticky buildup associated with traditional oil-based lubrication, keeping your RC car's pivot points operating smoothly without the accumulation of dirt and debris that plagues oiled bushings. The material composition ensures consistent performance across a wide temperature range, from cold winter sessions to hot summer bashing. Build quality is exceptional, with each bushing manufactured to tight tolerances to guarantee perfect fit within Traxxas vehicle chassis and suspension components. Whether you're running a Traxxas Stampede, Slash, Rustler, or any other compatible model, these bushings will restore precise handling and eliminate play at critical pivot points. The twelve-piece quantity is specifically calculated to provide complete replacement coverage for both front and rear suspension systems, allowing you to perform a comprehensive bushing refresh during your seasonal maintenance routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are self-lubricating bushings and why are they better than standard plastic bushings? — Self-lubricating bushings are manufactured from sintered Oilite bronze material containing microscopic oil reservoirs that release lubricant during operation. This design eliminates the need for manual lubrication whilst reducing friction and wear, resulting in longer component lifespan, smoother operation, and less maintenance compared to standard plastic bushings that require regular greasing and accumulate dirt when oiled.
- How often should I replace the bushings in my RC car? — Bushing replacement frequency depends on your driving style and usage intensity. Casual weekend bashers might replace bushings annually, whilst competitive racers or high-intensity runners might need replacements every 3-6 months. Signs of wear include notchy steering response, sloppy suspension articulation, or play at pivot points. When you notice these symptoms, it's time to replace your bushings with a fresh set like these Traxxas components.
- Will these bushings fit my Traxxas RC car? — The 5x8x2.5mm dimensions are standard across many Traxxas models including Stampede, Slash, Rustler, and other popular vehicles. However, specific fitment varies by model year and variant. We recommend checking your Traxxas vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific model before purchasing.
- Why should I buy genuine Traxxas bushings instead of cheaper aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine Traxxas bushings are engineered to exact OEM specifications, guaranteeing perfect fit, consistent material quality, and predictable performance. Cheaper aftermarket alternatives often feature inferior Oilite material quality, loose tolerances, or inadequate self-lubricating properties, resulting in faster wear, poor handling, and the need for more frequent replacement. Investing in genuine components saves money long-term through extended lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
- Do I need any special tools to install these bushings? — Installation requirements depend on your specific Traxxas model. Some vehicles feature press-fit bushings requiring a bushing tool or bearing press, whilst others use simple pin-through designs requiring only basic tools. Refer to your vehicle's manual for specific installation instructions, or our experienced RC Model Shop team can provide guidance on the installation process for your particular model.
- How many bushings does my RC car need? — Most Traxxas RC cars use between 8-12 bushings throughout the suspension and steering systems. This twelve-piece pack provides sufficient quantity for a complete refresh of most compatible models, covering front and rear suspension arms, steering components, and chassis pivot points.
