I finally got my lipo pack back from FMA and got to working on the MGT again in anticipation of getting it running.
I put the forwars-only conversion in and have now come to a new question. I've looked around and can't find an answer on this one so I figured I'd ask here first.
Does anyone know how to turn a one-way bearing into a no-way bearing?
If I can find a way to freeze the one-way in the tranny, I can get rid of the manual brakes and keep using the same transmission. One idea so far is to see if I can fill in the bearing area with solder, but I'm thinking that may not hold. The next idea involves (probably) a drill press. If I could get a hole drilled right through the tranny shaft and slot the one-way I could use a pin to hold the gear from spinning. If it didn't cost about $40 to replace the parts if I screw it up, I'd probably try it anyway.
Any other ideas? here's a pic of the one-way, if it helps anyone.
