If anyone cans please help me.i cranked it up for about 30 seconds then tipped it up on its side to change srevo and the nitro leaked out and filled up carb now when i try to pull the pullstarter it wont budge. Is it locked up or what can i do?
 
try taking the glow plug out of it and see if it will help your problem, or if that still wont work take a regular, or flat bladed screw driver and put it against one of the teeth on your flywheel and try to turn it clockwise a little bit. i had this problem with an engine i was trying to break in. soo much pinch it would occasionally lock up at tdc...spin it back a little bit and it was fine again
 
you probably flooded th eshit out of it take the glow plug out an turn the engine over a few times while the truck is upside down then try it again
 
Make sure you flip the truck over after pulling the glow plug out before pulling the cord. If you don't, you will end up with fuel spouting all over your truck and possibly your face out of the glow plug hole.

Flooding is common, especially when your new and the engine is new. They come from the factory with a very rich tune usually which makes it more susceptible to flooding.
