I had that, as have others. I had to buy the complete new hub and OWB etc, problem fixed.

The same problem appeared on my T-Rex 550e which I believe uses the same OWB.

Not good trying to auto when that thing isnt spinning freely.

hi ..i have had the same problem for years with my 600n the new fancey one way housing does not work .. it carys the same bearing.its a good ina bearing, but not for the aplication we are using it for,the torqe and speed is to low along with bearing quality hense is why it locks up . now i have sourced a bearing ,with higher torqe and a mutch faster bearing speed ,its a lot more expensive but if it does the job its money wel spent.i have fited it to the new housing{heat and drop} burnt a gallon of fuel over the week end there is a big diference in spool down it takes longer than normal witch is very good on every landing the auto gear stops spining im very pleased with this type of bearing, but i will not jump the gun just yet, 3 more weekend flying should do it. i will post and let those who are interested the results and part numbers, for the oneway clutch bearing

Also an important note, don't over tighten the lower Jesus bolt there is a nylock nut so won't come loose, over tightening will deform the bearing hub and it will not spin freely.
