    It has a "Go" engine?
    Never seen one...I assume it is a "clone" of a branded engine but with steel instead of alloy components to reduce cost to the maker.
    Unfortunately there are a few different sizes of one way bearing.
    The fit on the engine crankshaft has to be extremely precise or it will not work.
    If you buy another make of bearing without actually trying it's fit while you buy, you are chancing that it will work.
    I would guess a 1 in 3 chance of success each time you buy sight unseen.

    Either buy the right part, or leave it into a proper model repair service where the mechanic can try various one way bearings until one that fits properly is found. But where will you find a place prepared to give a "Go" engine a service in Ireland?

    Hi coolwings,

    I got it here: http://www.nitrotek.co.uk/A3001T.htm

    I brought it into 2 shops: greenhobbymodels and gizmos they didn't have one that fits,

    Thanks.

    For bearing of all sorts, check this website : http://www.vxb.com/
    Check the menu on the left, they even do bearings for model cars and so on... But you will find all the Bbearings you want anyway :D

    Buy all my Bbearings here.. Cheap and really good quality...

    Enjoy ! :)

    Thanks, but it's not there, they all seem to be circular and mines a hexegon shape.
