my OWB came out of its casing? i didnt even know this was possable..... can I epoxy it? or do I need a new OWB?

ohh man.... i just looked and its cracked...........

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to put it back in. If it doesn't work your not out nothing.

Oh, you typed in it was cracked right when I was typing my post. Bumer mabey you should get a starter box or that roto start conversion if your tired of the pull start. just a suggestion

It is indeed cracked I can even see the crack in the pic! When I ran the TTR .28 I bought spare one ways in a few gallons I used 1 spare, my friend with like 5 gallons is still on the original SOMEHOW.

lol luckaly the bearing is only $9 i thought It would be like the traxxas OWB's that are $20

If you use a bump box do I need the one way bearing

Nope

They can be pressed in and out but since it is cracked [:@] you need a new one.[]

i put some JBweild on it ill tell ya how it works tomorrow.

That's the beauty of a bump box, for problems exactly like the one madmax is having. With a starter box, you can just have a dead backplate on your engine, don't need to worry about OWB's or drag on the engine; it's a beautiful thing.

Ya I here you I have only ran bump box befor, I liked the pull start untill it broke after 1 gallon, worked great even for break in never took more than two pulls befor it fired up, I was worried I'd be yankin that thing all day.

I've been there and done that with pull starts, too much hassle when the engine isn't tuned right. Now, with having a starter box on both my Revo and now Mugen, I will never go back.

i really dont see the attration with the bump boxes... i had nothing but hassle with them. 12v gell packs dont last long enough they are big and heavy to haul around if your out bashing. Ive always used roto start but now i got the mach* with pull start i love it even more than the rotostart.... NO carrying anything around other than a glo starter, plug tool, flat blade driver and fuel bottle and i can walk off into any direction and play till my hearts content.

Im sure racing is a different ball game but for bashing gottsa be a pullstart....

I just hate being tied down to the van for parts and tools etc as i tend to use dissused minicross tracks and BMX dirt jump areas.

Hey max, did you get the OWB I sent you? Now im thinking about going back to a pull start or roto start, this starter box is a pain in the ass.

ohh sorry man read my post in the ST-1 forum. ill send you $9 if you want.
