Ziggy122 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Right i have a terrible problem with the old OWB in the 18cv-rx Even if the shaft is nice and clean - it dont wanna turn the engine over - it slips I tried cleaning and its made no difference And continually spraying WD40 AINT my answer.... Cause i get through so much... Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc 4 life Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 yeah, if you've cleaned it and the shaft.....most probably that the needle bearings in the OWB are too worn down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 get a new one ya cheapo ... the bearing is probably worn You looked at OS no.5 OWB and Pullstarts? OWB = £22 Pullstart = £33 Total = £55 Sumet tells me i cud have a new engine for that much Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonzi06 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 You could try putting a tiny bit of silicone diff grease on it, ive heard that works well for OWBs. Nathan, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy122 Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 I had an idea The OS starter shaft is TOO big for the HPI t-15 OWB If i got my grandad to turn it down so that it fits? should it work? as long as not to much is taken off that air leaks between the shaft and backplate Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc 4 life Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 lol, now you're getting silly. why make a modification to your engine just to put a owb on? just buy another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not get a new shaft??? i cant waste £22 on a new OWB And the shaft is fine The OWB has become worn out over time So i need a new one The OS has a really springy compression - so i really wanna get the rush evo back going Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
