    WTB: Broken OBX

    So you made a bunch of power. Broke the darn thing and it's sitting in your garage collecting dust. Let me know what you have available. I am most interested in the outer case, not the internals. It needs to be the one for our A413s and 520s.

    Thanks!

    Re: WTB: Broken OBX

    There is more info @ td.com but apparently he broke an axel, the bearing clearances were way to small and he didnt let off the throttle...the broken piece of axel was spinning like crazy and the heat caused the axel to weld itself to the obx.

    the obx case got a fracture somewhere but it could have happened when his machine shop pressed the axel out.

    He didnt find anything wrong till after he removed the axel and inspected it.

    So I guess he just wants another outside case but Im guessing there are no spares in existence.

    Ondonti has it corect. The case has a fracture in it; just putting out the word that we're looking for a case.
