2.5 one way trouble

[mrwill]

gentelmen, you helped me last time, I hope there is another miracle in your bags.
I have a jato, :loser: with a trx 2.5, bought used (won't make that mistake again)
the problem is that the oneway seized on the crank and pretty much destroyed the surface on the crankshaft, any ideas on other systems that I can use to replace it? I put on a new oneway (20.00) and the shaft is worn enough that it just spins. if I have to I will replace the engine but I already put a new engine in my t-maxx this week and the wife will be really pissed If I spend another 135.00
thanks for your help in advance (I hope)

Look for something like a tiger drive or even put a pull start on it. You can probably find a starter box to work too and then you can just cut the nub off the crank and put a backplate on it.

Umm... get a new starter shaft:http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDDV5&P=7

That with your new one way and you should be as good as new.

can't put a pull start on it due to the oneway chewing up the shaft, tried to use a starter box, but the wheel wouldn't reach the flywheel, tried to remove the spacers on the engine mount only to find the carb hits the tranny... ain't that somthing?

dang, I better go back and read the parts schematics again, didn't see that one. ordered.

Get a bigger flywheel for a starter box. Traxxas makes a 40mm for the Revo that should fit.
