One ways

[Carlos Aguilar Garcia]

My one way just went bad today, i dont know why this things get stuck. Maybe its a dumb question, but i really want to know why my one way got stuck, and maybe some ways to prevent it from happening again... any ideas

ARe you sure its the one way? Didi you clear all the fuel out of the engine? It may be flooded.

 

[Carlos Aguilar Garcia]

I'm sure its the one way, i have taken my engine apart and the bearing does not move...

 

[jon2]

did you check the clutch assembly? That maybe the culprit.

It might sound dumb but whats a ONE WAY sorry guys i am new to this R/C craze...

A one way is the bearing in the back of your egine. It pulls one way slips the other.

It's not a matter of prevention. They eventually go, just like any other mechanical part, some sooner than others.
