Home grown One Way Shaft

[Dafni]

Lads, this is an easy to make hopup. I came up with it when I made some center shafts for my BL Revo. Got inspired by the Quickturn thingy.



Here's what you need:
-Maxx slider shafts (f/r)
-Maxx yokes
-Maxx stub axle
-6mm one way bearing

And here is what it looks like on the inside:




The build up is pretty self explaining. I modified the female slider on a lathe. Took the outer diameter of the OWM minus 0.5mm as an inner diameter for the shaft.
The OWB got pressed into the shaft on the lathe, and it fits very well.

You can do this without a lathe, just use a 9.5mm drill bit and a vice to press the bearing in.

The OWB, in my case, sits nice and strong in the shaft. I was worried about it turning in the shaft, but so far it worked very well.

Keep in mind, it's only useing Maxx shafts and yokes, so it's not bullet-proof. It's good enough for some experiments, but if you like it, I would suggest the Quickturn.
A front OWB requires a completly different driving style, and I only use this goodie for experiments. You loose front brakes (not necessairily a bad thing, but I like 4 wheel braking better) but you gain off-power steering.

My vote still goes to a center diff, though.
