Did they send any instructions? It may take a bearing instead of the bushing. Having soft metal rub on hard metal would just tear the softer of the two up. I know RRP's steel spur for the maxx requires a bearing instead.

Measure the hole in the gear and the hole in the bushing and find a bearing that will fit.
 
I concur with olds on this one. You do not want to run a brass bushing in that titanium spur. Find the outer diameter and pick up an appropriate bearing. Just make certain that the bearing's inner diameter matches the bushing's inner diameter so that it will ride the axle, it is supposed to ride, properly.
 
i use the rprp one and i use the bushing...if you really think about it the bushing nor the spur will be spinning aginst each other ,its just a bushing that rides on the shaft and once its tightend up it will barley even spin i got mine locked pretty good so theres not hardly any friction at that point..the shaft,spur,bushing,plates, will be all spinning together the only friction there will be is if he leaves the nut to loose...just my opinion!!
 
hi, no instructions with it. i will have to try and fit a bearing in it. thank you
