Cold weather starts?

Just wondering, my truck sitting in the cold garage, could that make it so the electric start wouldnt wanna barely turn the motor over even with a fresh battery?

sure can, bring it in the house and let it warm up to room temp , or use the hairdryer method to get some heat in your head before you try to start it. in cold temps everything moves slower ! lol !

Ya i move slower in the cold also. Just wasn't sure if it would really affect it turning over being that it not a oil bath bottom end, but temps can do some weird things to metal i guess. Thanks

just like a real car the turn over hard when its cold also same concept

Thats what i was sayin a partial reason for a car turning over hard is because the oil thickens up. The crank in the rc crank isnt submerged in a tank of thick cold oil. But either way i will give it another shot tomorrow. Thanks all

Even though there is no oil, the metal contracts in the cold.

That is def the problem. When I was outside, it would even turn at all. Brought it in the house, warmed it up and just to make sure it wasn't the EZ start, i tried to start in the house and it went on immediatly.....good smelling fumes, HAHA
