Status: offline 		I have purchased some one-way bearing for the Force .28 engine. Actually, all Force Engines (.26, .28, .32) one-way bearing are of the same size, therefore, you can use either one of them and it will work perfectly. There are other one-way bearing of for other engine that have the same size such as the HPI Savage F4.1, HPI Nitro Star .21 and the Super Tiger G27CX engine used for Duratrax Raze. These are the ones that I have in my parts box. It is good to have at least 2 one way bearing as spare.

I never really have big problems from my One Way.. It dose slip sometime but nothing a little cleaning won't fix. My Clutch Bearings on the other hand usually can't be fixed

Status: offline 		Thanks for the advice; I did loose the clutch bearing once already. Apparently when I had the car go through a water puddle after running pretty hard for over 30-40 minutes the change in temp. killed those two bearing. Since I stopped using the car soon after I dint notice until the next day when I tried turning the engine and I could see the clutch bell moving all over, upon further inspection I found the two 5x10 clutch bearings completely destroyed. I was forced to go to my LHS here over seas and I ended up paying an equivalent to $16-$18 dollars for two 5x10 bearing that would have been $4-$5 on line in the US. Live and learn.

Status: offline 		That is true, might as well keep a few pieces of these bearing in your pitbox. I have 8 pcs. of these as I have 3 nitros and all of them uses the same bearing size. The price of these from my LHS is too much, so I purchased mine thru those on-line auctions and I saved some money.

BTW, these are 2 of my RAV's. How about showing off your RAV's too.

Ok, here's mine. Pretty stock on the out side except for the new rims and tires. I also ordered a new black Jammin high down force spoiler, but I havent received it. On the inside is the normal HT steering and throttle servos, gas filter, new gas lines and very clean, it's my thing.

Almost forgot, I also installed new Jammin T Bolt nuckles and C Hubs since the original once are very sub standard.

They do share the same design though. I do have a new pare of shoes that aren't in the pic though.

Status: offline 		Hi, I am new to this "community" and I bought a Ravager about 3 weeks ago.

I just tore the gears out of my steering servo.... Sounds like it is a normal problem with the Ravager. Any suggestions on a new

one? (high torque, metal gears, etc.) Also, does it pay to just buy a new throttle servo too while I am at it?

Thanks

Status: offline 		I am new to the whole buggy world. Been into planes for awhile but I wanted to try the wonderful world of buggies. I bought the said Ravager, ran it accident free. My problem is really a silly one. I put the poor thing in the trunk of my car and was going to run it after work. I left my trunk open at work a crack so that if I needed tools I wouldn't have spend time looking for tools. Well my trunk got soaked and so did my poor Ravager. Problem is that I have rust spots all over the place from the humidity. What kind of oil can I use to get rid of these spots?
