New t maxx 3.3 problem

So I just broke in my new t maxx 3.3 and i am brand new to this foowed all the instructions. Once it was broken it I put some gas in it and was screwing around but now it zero power and will get stock on a rock step the shifter and inch up from the winter so I was bringing it back to me and it was running just not going very fast and then it just cut out. My starter is dead nw but why does it have no power?

Have you tried changing the glow plug? Did u let the motor warm up before running it all out? If not it could have damaged the internals

Yes i let it warm up and i ran it and broke it in folowing the instructions then let it sit for about 10 minutes put a full tank if gas in it then was gonna go have some fun ran with no power then died and now it wont trn over.

As far as the break in process goes, it's always a good idea to change out the glow plug after the break in is complete. They tend to go bad during the break in occasionally. As for no power, was it at a high rpm and still moving slowly? I could be that your slipper clutch has come loose and needs to be tightened up.

yes it was high rpm but not moving so i was driving it back to me and it mad a sucking noise then shut off and wouldnt turn over so off to traxxas it goes.

.. id say slipper clutch is loose.. worth a shot before you send it to traxxas!

Yeah I would have but the motor locked up

you must have left the engine at top dead center. there is a way to unlock it.... go to the page i linked up. and READ about your car.. the FAQ's are so amazing to read.

you know, and I'm not saying this to be Rude at all.. but you better get used to wrenching on your own stuff. when its not the break in, its gonna be something else. your going to have to learn how to maintain it or you will either be sending it to traxxas every week for something stupid that you could of just fixed yourself, or tuned yourself. i take it you didn't read the instructions?
