RE: ONE Way
I had a one way that looked just like yours. The problem was not just the bearing, but the bottom of the conrod that CAUSED the damage to the oneway. I also noticed pitting on top of the piston. I don't know if the metal pieces from the oneway or conrod caused it or not. Anyway, be sure to check out the bottom of the conrod for damage. I finally gave up on that engine because I figured I was better off replacing the engine with a new one than buying another oneway, a conrod, and piston and sleeve. The cost of all of the parts was almost as much as a new Mach .26. The bottom line is not just the damage to the oneway, but the cause of it and the damage caused by the metal pieces flying around the internal engine.

RE: ONE Way
To answer your question though, I never thought of trying it, but I guess you could. Before you do though, you might better figure out what is causing it, otherwise you're going to need another one anyway sooner or later.

RE: ONE Way
Sounds like good advice. I have sent this motor away to Horizon and the other motor to the other LST once all ready also. Does something like this look like a factory defect or just something that wares over time? I am new to the nitro stuff so I don’t really know what to expect from these motors. I know when they are running great it is hard to keep my truck right side up

RE: ONE Way
This looks like it could of happen when it was frist started new. These engines have alot of compresstion new if you don't loosen the plug to turn it over you can brabe stuff. I cracked the oneway bearing housing before. Just a thought.
Lookin, if the Hobby shop don't have one I think I do so see you when you get here later Ben.
