So do the new Arrma rubber bushings suck more or less than the Arrma plastic bushings? I've been in need of new shock bushings for some time, but hate spending as much for shipping as the part costs. I guess I need to just get over it already and order them, LOL.

Rubber ones makes the upper shock mount kinda floppy to me......but if you wrap the shaft with teflon tight a bit first then put the rubber on much better.

So 40$ for m2c to ship the bushings to me in Canada. No way. Not for somthing will fit in a letter envelope.
So here is what i did today.
1/4” gas line. ( yellow is what i had). Cut same length as stock rubbers. Had to ream out inside hole of plastic protection cover with 1/4” drill so it would fit in. Slid in shock cap perfect. This took out all of the slop and i cant imagine it wearing out any faster then the stock rubber. Worth a shot..

It was more to me that the stock rubber one allowed for play in it so when I was setting my droop screws it had a bit of space before they were under tension also from what I noticed they allowed the shock cap to slam in to the plastic shock protectors under heavy compression doing this if u look at that shock cap eyelet it's all banged up from hiting the cap protector now with solid bushings it can not do that

If you have a measurement of the hole in the shock I'm sure you can find a ton of other bushings that will work in the application.
Do a little research and see what you can find.
I will be in about 2 days for this exact problem.
