product details

These bushings meet and exceed the standards of discerning Airsmiths.

F.L.T. bushings are CNC machined from high-speed steel and burnished in a vibratory tumbler to eliminate any peaks or high spots that may cause damage to gear axles. These new F.L.T. bushings also have the gear axel openings reamed. The bushings are porous on the outside but smooth on the inside, which allows for smooth gear axle operation and better adhesion if the user wants to glue the bushings into a gearbox shell. The manufacturing process is superior to the standard sintering or PIM process that most Airsoft bushings undergo.

Most bushings on the market have an HRC of 25-35. These F.L.T. bushings have a Rockwell hardness of 50-55. These bushings also have a low profile to allow for proper gear clearance and shimming.

In addition, the bushings are coated in silicone oil to prevent rusting during shipment and storage. Please note that this oil is not intended to be used as a lubricant. Remove the silicone oil during installation and use a lubricating grease instead.

These new F.L.T. bushings have the openings reamed. There is some surface oxidation due to handling and does not hinder performance. A high-quality grease is recommended for these bushings.

These bushings are recommended, especially for those running high-stress builds.

Flange thickness: 0.56mm

Hands down best bushings

Great QC on these, I wouldn't choose any other bushing simply based on the tolerance and quality for a great price. If you don't want to mess with bearing installation these are the next best thing in my opinion.

Top Tier Quality and Quality Control

These bushings are fantastic for the same reasons they're mentioned in the product description:

1. Hardness. This means they'll maintain their axial hole shapes far better than softer, more porous bushings. This is especially important when using gears with very hard axles such as Siegetek. For example, I have another set in a different AEG with Siegeteks, shooting 26-27 RPS. I stopped keeping track of cycles after 1 million cycles and the F.L.T bushings have zero wear in the axial holes.

2. Flushness. These sit perfectly in line with a VFC gearbox. They offer me more room to shim, which is a huge plus given that you want to ideally start pinion-to-bevel. They also don't stick out on the sides. This means the selector plate fits above them and they aren't preventing the gearbox from fitting into receivers.

3. Smooth surface. Perhaps the most overlooked, but the smooth surface of F.L.T bushings means that gears and shims can glide without scraping or scratching. I've had this happen a couple of times on lower quality bushings and the sound is almost like a rubbing sound. That does not happen with these. F.L.T bushings are so smooth that they feel like bearings.

4. Excellent specs. I've used many sets myself and installed a good 20+ more for customers. They fit in Retro Arms, VFC, G&P, JG, CYMA, Ares, Dboys, and many other gearboxes. They also fit with the countless number of gearsets I've used them with. Should you get a little bit of a whirring noise after you shim with them, add a tiny bit of grease to axles. The sound will be gone.

Caution: The *only* concern you should have is that the diameter of the bushings is just *barely* more than advertised, which I'm assuming is intentional. If you're installing these, even for the first time, you should expect these to be a very tight fit within the bushing sockets. You may have to take a rubber mallet and really hit these into place. On the flipside, you shouldn't need to epoxy them in.

Definitely give these a shot. The price is fair and the quality is excellent.

Great

They work well there bushings :D

FLT is great

While I like RA ones, too, they don’t quite fit in every single gb. FLT will create a great fit without epoxy in every single gb I’ve put them in.

Best Bushings on the Market

Cant go wrong with FLT Bushings. I've never had a problem shimming or installing with them.

Best Bushings!

Hands down the best Bushings out there!
Has the thinnest flange i know of for the most shimming room.

If you're wanting something that will outlast and handle any build you toss at them, look no further!
(If memory serves right F.L.T offered a reward to anyone that could break/wear these bushings out, dont think anyone ever could collect that reward haha)
