.07 Vertigo one way bearing

[Willy-G]

I bought this 1/16 scale for my son, after all the tanks of break in and taking the engine out many times just to clean the one way bearing with De-natured alchahol, it seems like the bearing is getting saturated from running too rich, every time I shut it down I have to take the bearing out and clean it just to get it to grab. I bought it from Nitro RCX(WILL NEVER BUY THERE AGAIN). Unfortunatly they are all out of one way bearings, is there someone out there that is having the same problem as I am? I have tried to lean it out, maybe I am not running lean enough.......don't know

What fuel are running? You could also try sealing the back plate on the motor.

Odonell High Performance racing fuel, what do you mean by sealing the back plate on the motor and what will that do....?
