R46 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 engine may have hydro locked, use a flat head screw driver to turn flywheel under chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimebag Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 dont worry about the msn mine was more than 1/2 a turn also. take your glow plug out, turn it upside down and pull the pull start a few times. screw the glow plug back in and it should be easier to pull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R46 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 how many tanks ran so far? still on stock glow plug? if so best to replace it seems their the trouble maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayltwod Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 jus cant wait to get it going properly so a can start having fun.....one a did want to know when i pushed the throttle forward to put it in reverse nothing happened do the switches on the tx need altering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgtuser Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) um, you cant make it go into reverse mate!! its a mini truggy, they have a centre diff, you need a gearbox to make it go into reverse, and thats monster truck territory. pushing the throttle forward will only apply the brakes. Try a McCoy MC9 plug, they work well in them. plus yours is still in need of breaking in, so it will run rich anyway. after a few more tanks, start leaning the engine in a bit more every tank. do some half throttle blips, building up to full throttle short bursts. dont forget, you cant tune a cold engine. what may seem rich when its cold, will probably be leaner when its upto working temperature..

dayltwod Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 oh i see lol i warmed it up with a hairdryer that made it easy to start. I left it ticking over for another half a tank n gave it a little throttle while it was stood on a box but it jusst would not pull away when i sat it on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATZY Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) check the grub screws on each side of the center diff where the cups that the prop shafts slot into also ive noticed they do take a fair few revs to get em rollin from a standin start Edited November 14, 2010 by HATZY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
