Did Elephant Racing buy the RSR Front Bushing design from Rebel Racing? They look identical!

While they look the same, the Rebel racing fronts use a Teflon insert for the bushing and the elephant fronts uses steel bearings (they say for proper collinear operation).

QUOTE(Travis Neff @ Mar 29 2013, 01:21 PM)  While they look the same, the Rebel racing fronts use a Teflon insert for the bushing and the elephant fronts uses steel bearings (they say for proper collinear operation). AFAIK the inserts are not Teflon. They are Teflon impregnated Acetal copolymer. It is a very expensive engineering plastic with excellent lubricity and machining properties, however overkill for the application imo. |
