I rcvd my mill back from traxxas a couple weeks ago and I installed it yesterday with no results. I connected everything back added fuel charged batteries with no go. All I hear is the ez start spinning or winding whatever the noise is but the mill wont attempt to start. Any ideas where to start looking:hypno:

Sounds like the one way bearing is slipping, clean are replace it and try again.
 
Do you think the engine is going through its' compression cycles, or the EZ start if just spinning freely?

If it's spinning freely, then it's either in need of cleaning, as SMaxxin says, or you installed it backwards. It IS a ONE way bearing, and a common mistake.
Pull the backplate and see which way the bearing locks.
 
If it sounds like it's running slow then your EZ start is upside down (Only I would do something like this), are you getting a glow plug response light?
