Re: RC4WD Gear Reduction
Yes it is oillite bushing.
Sorta had grease... I was debating whether to relube with the white lithium or spray on graphite, thought maybe the graphite might interfere with the oil release of the bushing.

Re: RC4WD Gear Reduction
Definitely sounds like a dry bushing. I don't like oilite bushings because they gum up.Especially in the dusty environment you work in. A good solid bronze bushing may work better. Better yet, can you install a ball bearing? Run the whole gear train in oil? I don't know anything about the drive you are using just going on what happens with dry bushings.
Another thing, Can the motor pinion be supported on the end? Probably not because the mounting holes are slotted to accommodate different pinions. With the way you overload your trucks all the time, there could be some flexing on the pinion shaft making it run out of alignment with the driven gear. Same goes for your rears that you said you have problems with.
