SDS super 300hd bush
 

I need some of these brass bush for the super 300Hd. Look like SDS is no longer in business. Where can I get some? I need a fulls set plus a few spare.

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

Count me in for some as well! ill take at least 20 of these if I can get them! I got a full 1.5 years out of my first set in my wraith and I beat the crap out of it! I have ad to go back to axial versions and am on my 3 set in 6 months! Someone please set up and make these little brass beauties!!!

Are you talking about for the knuckles?

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

They are talking about the bushings in the u joints.

Re: SDS super 300hd bush

If John is really out of the game, I would consider running a few hundred. I know a lot of my team runs em.

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

I am really hurtin for some of these little buggers. I think he had a run of mild steel bushings that may be a good option as well.

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

Thanks john for offering. I checked sds thread and the response was last year, so I guess he is out. Depends on cost i will be down for 2 sets. Or at least 10 of them....

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

I think it need to be softer than the cross, i think brass or aluminium would be better choice.

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

300M is considerably harder than mild steel, but yes, once the cross is worn then you are screwed. CTM, builder of 1:1 300M u-joints, uses a bronze sleeve insert in their caps so I wonder if bronze caps would work well for our purpose? The brass ones never last long for me and I know aluminum would be toast in no time.

Best bet it to upgrade to Dlux Ofna shafts:mrgreen:

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

But it is sad seeing this beautiful piece of work sitting on the bench, crippled by the little bushings.

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

Thanks for offering John! Like I said I would take 20 right of the top. "thumbsup" I'm sure there are other out there looking for solutions aswell! I don't think you would be sitting on these if you did.

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

Hey John I still have brand new bushings you could get measurements from if needed. I'll take 20"thumbsup"
Later,
Farmer

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

I need a few sets as well, mine are on the way out too. After the NWSC event (first run on them) mine were already getting loose. Now I barely run the truck due to the bushings. :roll:

I'd like to see some mild steel bushings myself, bronze would be my second choice. I think the correct lube and keeping them clean is the important part in regard to longevity.

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

John if you do a run ill be in for a few set's also. thank you "thumbsup"

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

I would run them out of a good bronze.

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

you might consider giving oilite a try.

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

OK, this is off topic but Super 300 related.

Can anybody tell me how to or what to use to drill out an Axial ring gear??

I bought a set of 300's in like new condition with the locker but when I went to assemble a new front axle the dang shaft won't fit thru the ring gear. AHHHH!

A little assistance please. "thumbsup"

Re: SDS super 300hd bush
 

Slow sped on the lathe or drill press with a carbide bit. I use a 1/4" pilot bit ( I think that is what it is called) has a small drill tip and the rest of the bit is 1/4" diameter it is not a standard box store bit that is 3 inches long or so...it is only 2" long max.

I have also used step drill bits (the type electricians use) with some success, and I say some. Lots of pressure applied is needed, drill press is the way to go with these. If you get it to hot the bit is shot and the piece is harder than is was to start with.

If you don't have access to those tools, I would see if a vendor on here can do it for you.

Good luck
