SS bushings...do they really work?

for those of you have upgraded the bushings on their SS kits, does it really work?
every one is talking about how capyoda's bushing's are good.
did you guys really feel a difference?
i have the revo ss and i love it, i dont see how these bushing can make that much of a difference?


thanks.

from what i've heard, it gets rid of the vibration and keeps ur ss in place so that it wont move and wont break. i think there more sturdier then your plastic ones. Hows your revo ss, im thining of gettin one. Is there really a big difference in shifting or not really?

the bushings remove the added play that the OEM rubber ones give you when shifter it makes it more precise and feels more sturdy. The ones CapYodas is selling look and function exactally like the Kumo bushings i bought when i got the REVO SS. I would recomend them very highly

Capyoda's bushings are great. They're basically the same as the kumosport but half the price. For $16 shipped, you really can't go wrong. The stock bushings are made of rubber, so the shifter assembly has a little give when shifting. With the aluminum bushings the assemble stays put. It makes the assembly feel more solid. Definitely recommend.

woah lets not hype it up too much. people might be disappointed. heh.

it does eliminate the play in the assembly, especially when you do a hard shift.

not a necessary mod, but if you're getting a short shifter it compliments it nicely.

a good example of this is:

you got a joystick stuck on a table with rubber suction... now if you yank it hard, the entire joystick will move along with the direction you yank the joystick... now replace those rubber suction and you glue it on the table.. you can now yank the joystick around without extra movement.

thats pretty much what these aluminum bushings do.

It's the best performance upgrade you can get for $16...

It makes shifts feel less "rubbery". It probably feels fine now, but after you put it on you'll say "Damn it is a lot better!".
