Humm interesting... They look like they have filled in the bearing protection covers to make the units filled out more with less gaps for faliors.

It would still be two pieces but no bearings at least.

Humm.. Interesting... I'll take a look at teh broken one and see whats what. Not sure about fitting another inside the frame. Slight miss align and it could be really bad news lol.

For solid 8mm bushings I would check out McMaster.com. ID will be 3mm, OD should be 8mm so you have to worry about how large the flange is on your gearbox (I would just pull out an old 8mm bearing and measure it with a caliper).
Also, sorry to tell you but your setup is going to be prone to failure no matter what you do running 12 volts on a Systema Turbo, especially at that extremely low FPS (which you probably short stroked at least 2 teeth). I would also make sure you buy a new pinion gear (Eagle Force), and fix the Turbo's huge design fault (how there's nothing isolating the + from the - besides a thin coating of anodization).

Cheers will look in to those. Na its not short stroking only neded to remove the 2nd to last tooth and its running fine. Yea i've got new pinion gears here already for both. I'm trying a Modify one out curently and a Guarder Heat Treated one. Will see how they do. Humm didint know that about the anodizing contact flaw? Any pics diagrams to show this in more detail?

please enlighten me.

Mine seems to be returning fine, and its incredibly fast. If it wasnt returning right the back of the piston gets ripped off. I guess as mine hasnt done that, its probably ok with just the 2nd tooth removed.
