We had bushings in 27-turn. They are a serviceable/replaceable item. It's one more thing to help bring the price down, slow down and separate "stock" from faster classes. Replacing bushings every once in a while is inexpensive and still beats replacing brushes and cutting comms constantly IMO. I'm only partially serious BTW. Just trying to answer the concerns I see brought up.
BTW, trying to be the fastest guy in any controlled class is going to be expensive because you are constantly trying to buy that last little bit of speed. It's only when you have too much power for the car/track that you don't go spending dollars on that last 1/10th. You have to look to your driving and setup. The flip side of that is that the faster speeds of modified are much harder on tires and other equipment should you have a "board meeting."
