XX4 oneway

[racingdwarf]

I had a three wheel drive xx4 today, not to handy! I have found that the whole oneway bearing is rotating in the housing, thus there is no drive to that front wheel at all. I think the oneway is the one you can get from DC racing (bought the car second hand).Is this a common prob? if so can I use some stud & bearing fix etc to solve the prob or am I going to be wasting my time?The oneway has only done about four meetings from new, I know this as I knew the car before I bought it from one of our club members before he left the country....

Any help would be great

Is it a Losi one way or 3rd party? The Losi one has plastic outdrives and rings on the outsides.

common problem, whatever solution they use in manufacture to secrue the bearing is naff, ive used threadlock 636 to sort 3 peoples out in as many weeks. once you've done that there bullett proof

clean it all up with sand paper, and make sure u put it in the right way around and super glue it, leave it over night and it should be ok, ours has run like this for over 12months in the xx4

I normaly use pink Zap super glue, would this work as I will be gluing metal to metal. If not were would I go to get the stuff you lot use, or loctite 636

i used pro line tyre glue. its super glue. but make sure it cleaned inside the diff were the bearing sits, and one way bearing is cleaned up properly.PS don't let the glue get inside the bearing or its dead,

It,s got metal outdrives with 2 sets of slots for the driveshaft pins on both outdrives, and the outdrives are very heavy duty.It's blue in colour I'm sure it's a DC one

Yes, sounds like my one, which is also a DC Racing One Way.

Actually I think that's a Lesro one, not sure Dom's were ever available in Blue, could well be wrong though.

yes it sounds like my Lesro one.. Not had any problems with mine though. I was told that the one way bearings themselves should be cleaned out after 10 or so runs and a light oil put on them. I'd say clean and oil first.
