I've used 3 sets of bearings, all 3 died within short order.

I read an article about SystemA's MOSFET circuits that are on the market, called a switch device or something, its US$45 on redwolfairsoft.com. And in the article SystemA admits that the Magnum motor has higher torque AND is faster than a turbo. Switching from a Turbo to a Magnum in my ICS made me go from 24rps to 27rps. Standard gears, 350fps spring.

8mm bushings....could get them custom machined on a lathe, or maybe buy some 8mm bearings and very carefully put JB weld in the crack where the bearings are visible. Is it possible to take apart 8mm bushings and using the outside piece (the one that is in contact with the mechbox) work it a bit and fit a 6mm bushing inside it? It would still be two pieces but no bearings at least.
