No worries
ssoz snapped a bit... Just a little ticked off lol... Everything was going so well. Yea i saw those ceramics 30$ was spot on WGC had but i think out of stock or discontinued. I'm not sure if it was the heat really. It's not seen any legth of time in use other than short bursts to test.
I'm also not sure if the bearing went first. or the Gear teath. It's quite possible the gear teath just went and then took out the bearings on that Bevel gears axis.

I just finished some hardcore extensive googling for you, nothing from King Arms in the bushing department, 8mm bearing yes, bushing no. Nothing 8mm from KM, and nothing from Laylax. I wish I knew what to tell you, unfortunetly this one is well above anything I can dig up.
I hope nothing else was damanged in the lower.
Best of luck. I'll keep an eye open for you.

Everything else was fine actually. I was prety amazed no other shred of damage, no gear marks that usually grind in to teh gearbox casing etc. I think what helped was it was the 10 Teeth Bevel gears teeth that went which contact the Spur gear. Because its few teath they broke and then the motor just spun that gear not the above two.
Cheers for the googling
I have been two and checking as many shops i know of
Not seen any Prometheus Bearings, only Action.... King Arms, Element etc. Not going near those.Possibly KA but again i'd rather get bushings if tehy can be found. I may try get some machined. But yea luckily the rest of the parts are all fine
Also i couldnt believe it. I just got my replaceent Micro Fuse through that WGC managed to track down fromteh manufacturer. My TLP X-15 stopped working i asked for their input and they said internal componant fuse went. Finally got it through yesterday so sat down this morning...
2 Hours later and removing 3 parts from a dis-assembled Charger i got it all fixed
charged the 12v beast of a battery and worked flawlessly. Then this happened later on lol! My luck eh...
The one thing on a project like this is find the problems as you go along and dont expect it to always work fine
For the info i posed a thread at the end of august last year. Its the Bofors Defence Weapon Custom Gun Project this is from
