Anybody has issue with the oneway bearing ?

aamwood · 07-19-2007, 08:51 PM

Mine was broken twice already. Is it because I installed it wrongly ?

drummer5140 · 07-19-2007, 08:53 PM

No, I have ran 6 gallons so far with no problem.

aamwood · 07-19-2007, 09:10 PM

Then something is wrong with mine. It happened to my friend too. Both of us using G10 after market frame. Is it because of that ?

There is a known issue with the oneway. There is now a new sleeve available from Align that MAY fix the problem:

One-way Bearing Shaft H60018

The newest issue of rc heli says they had problems with the one-way locking up.Must be a problem if the heli that the magazine gets had issues after a handfull of flights.

I have used white lithium grease on my bearing, I hope it will stop the locking up. Looks like Align should work on this issue .

It will still stick, depending on how hard you fly. I have tried all kinds of different lubricants, and get MAYBE 2 flights to a bearing. This is with the new sleeve as well. Servo grease has been the best so far, but still locks. I can break it free after the flight though.

Just an update. I put white lithium grease on the bearing and it solved the problem. Went through 4 tanks without an issue. Just try it it guys. Hopefully it works for you

There are 4 600N flying with no issues at all,they are all using the stock plastic with magnets and the stock one way brgs. They are also using the 2 in 1 regulator also.DOUG

Two out of two at out field locked up immediately. Both one way bearing say "Germany" on the end. I had a problem with my Rappy 50 V2 early on but these Trex one ways lock up so tight you can hardly pry it loose with two flat blade screwdrivers.

aamwood · 07-29-2007, 08:18 PM

Yes, mine was lock up twice and my friend's was too. But, once we put the white lithium grease, the bearing is perfect. I think the bearing is good just lack of lubrication.

Whirlybird · 07-29-2007, 08:32 PM

What type lithium grease are you using ? Is it in a tube or a spray can ?

aamwood · 07-30-2007, 02:34 AM

I am using a spray can. Check it out at : www.wd40.com
So far so good.
