The rubber bushings in my ct70 are fine...for a stock motor. I've realized that they flex an awful lot when you have a gpx177v2 motor in it and even my taky124+r.

Anyone do a bearing replacement on these? Got a bearing source?

Got a spare arm, to get some dimensions? I gotta believe there's a needle set with the right OD, and an inner can be spun up easily enough.

My high $$$ G-craft swinger for the CT came with the rubber bushings

I ended up swapping them out with the CRF50 needle bearings that "Pivot Works" sells. Had to just machine the inner collars down a bit and use some thin washers (trans shims) for side thrust.
