Hello all! I've done a search but the problem is it doesn't return what I'm looking for. Anyways, I just got a Team Losi Aftershock with the .26 engine. Problem is that it starts in reverse! Me and my brother didn't realize this and actually re-tuned it and next thing ya know we tuned it to run in reverse. Question is, how do I fix this? De-tune it, and then what? Is it due to the pull start? I have a roto start for it if that'll cure it. I really don't know. Thank you!

P.S.
Not new to RC at all, just new to this forum

you must have your owb on bachwards, flip it around then retune. welcome to rcu

I knew it! I knew it was the pull start!! I'll try that out and let you know. Thanks.

let me know if that fixes it, even though it should

Yeah, you had to have put it on backwards.

Actually I can thank Team Losi for putting it on backwards and ruining my fun! Thanks for the info guys I hadn't thought of the owb!

what does owb stand for??

OWB stands for One-Way Bearing.

Wow that was a bad mistake on Team Losi part!!

If it's not the oneway bearing, it could be the 3rd channel needs to be reversed on the tramsmiiter, or the shifter linkage needs to be adjusted

The Aftershock comes forward only. If the OWB in the engine is in backwards the engine may start but the OWB in the tranny would not grab and the truck wouldn't move. My guess is that the diffs are both installed upside down. There should be the word TOP on one side of the diffs and this should be visible from the topside of the vehicle.

OOOPS[&o] That's one of the differences I keep forgetting about between the LST and the Aftershock..My bad

I put the roto start on for ease, and the engine will spin the correct way, but haven't tried it out yet. I don't have the roto start hex head for it yet either... thanks guys!

If the engine starts and turns in the correct direction and the truck goes back wards make sure the diff is put in correctly. Have you had the diff out lately?
