they're oilite bushings that i took out of my stampede when i installed ball bearings i the wheels. there is also one used in the lunchbox, but only one. if you used ball bearings when you built it, you should have it leftover.

hpi makes an adapter set, too. tower has them for $1.90. maybe you could find them at a local shop? (the link is posted in the other thread)
