It appears that Associated offered an add-on replaceable bearing support for the pinion end of a motor, and it was intended for 1/12 scale racing. It might have been nice to have if the bronze bushing was worn out. . 1000012045.jpg . 1000012046.jpg . 1000012047.jpg . 1000012049.jpg . 1000012048.jpg ...

Being in that nice condition, I would be hopeful that was an indication they were taken care of and had little use. For early modifieds, I don't get the impression that they were buil...

1/4" wide pinstripe tape is a good replacement, if you decide to open it up.
