“I would just like to thank everyone at HPI for the excellent customer service i have experienced. I have to say that i have never received a better service from any other company than yourselves. Not only were you prompt in replying to my emails, but from opening and resolving my issue was remarkably quick and efficient. There is no doubt that my next purchase will be another HPI RC car when my son out grows his recon, as i am confident that support is there should i ever have a problem or require advise. I will not hesitate in recommending your products to friends and family if the opportunity arrises. Other companies should take a leaf out of your book. Not only are the HPI branded you tube videos a good source of info, but your web site is also easy to navigate allowing the customer to easily find what they want. But most importantly it looks like it is always kept up to date regarding the latest offerings, Video and achievements, which i always like to see from a company as it shows that they are focused. Keep up the good work. ”

Why Does The One Way Bearing Fail?

ANSWER:

The One Way Bearing is normally very reliable and will only fail in the event that it's over-loaded. This is normally caused by attempting to start the engine whilst it's flooded.

If the Rotostart jams or the Pullstart becomes difficult to pull then you can remove the glowplug and clear the engine as shown on the DVD included with HPI kits. The engine should then be easier to turn over.

If you follow the above steps then your One Way Bearing will thank you!
