Ok, so i just got my Revo from a long storage break xD

still seems fine, piston still cranks and looks well lubricated :D

the only thing thats bothering me now is, when the rc is on flat ground and i push it (foward) is it suppose to have like that hard pushing feel? like i feel like when i push it it has an e-break on. But when i roll it back wards its an easy roll. Keep in mind mines doesn't have a reverse. Or its just me cause i havent touched this thing for a while.:\
 
Depending on how/where it was stored, some of the bearings could be a little rough. Without actually "feeling" it, it's a little hard to tell but it should roll pretty easily, check and make sure there's no binding in the trans.
 
Ok, got the problem solved :)

But another problem occurred. Ok so i rested the carb to stock settings. And now, when i try to turn it on, it doesn't turn on :( The motor cranks, but the glow plug does ignite. On the ez-starter it has only motor light on and glow plug off. So first i thought the blue wire that goes to the glow plug may be worn out, so lucky i had another pair on the side, so i gently swapped it, and i tried it again.. No light came on. So after that, i changed out the glow plug with a new one. And tried starting it again.. Still no light from the ez-starter. So now I'm stuck at this point into giving in.. But i don't want to >.<

What do you guys think the problem is now? Is it the ez-start wand? Should i just buy my self an igniter?

Thank you all for your kindly help!
 
get a separate ingniter for the glow plug ..i personally never had a problem with the wand lighting my plug ...but it is know to go bad

if you have a voltmeter , you can check if there is power coming from the wand ...if so , maybe its just a bad ground
