ex start bearings
 
Here lately when I try to start my T-maxx with the EZ start system it only stays engaged for a second and then disengages and the electric motor spins over. When the starter battery starts to wear down, the starter system stays engaged longer. Does this sound like the one-way bearing is going bad to you? Somebody please let me know what they think or if they have had this same problem and what you did to resolve it?

Thanks,
Wanna

this defiantly your one way bearing. It is either slipping because of to much grease on it (most likly) or it is getting to worn. Id try cleaning it first then replacing it
Take care

YOU CAN ALSO DRILL A SMALL HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE STARTER COVER AND A NOTHER HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE STARTER COVER ............BEING CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL INTO THE GEARS.............FOR USE AS A PLACE TO APPLY SOME BRAKE CLEANER WITH THE SUPPLIED RED TUBE THAT COMES WITH THE BRAKE CLEANER...AND AFTER YOU GIVE IT A QUICK SHOT OF CLEANER PUT SOME ELECTRICAL TAPE OVE THE HOLE TO KEEP CRUD OUT ....AND ALL THIS DOES IS LESSON THE REBUILD TIME IT TAKES TO DISSASEMBLE AND REASSEMBLE THE TRANNY
