Status: offline 		Need a Cheap Simi-Temp Engine Fix for my T-Maxx, it has the usual One way bearing slippage problem (new bearing btw) and I dont have the cash for a new engine just now, so I need a low cost Fix that will last up to 6 months.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

Status: offline 		Is there a Upgrade for the Rear Engine Plate that replaces the Shaft & Bushing with a better sealed setup with a bearing in place of the bushing?
(It's a TRX .15 BTW)

BTW: when I swap out the TRX .15 I'm probably going to go for the OS .18 TM and plan to replace the stock plastic pipe with a better one, any suguestions?

Thanks!
