So my Roto start spins but when I put it in to start it it seems like the engine is binding and doesn't spin!! Might just go back to pull start...but this is so much easier! Please help! Worked ok for one day then this. Thanks!

Is this truck new to you or have you been using the Truck & starter before this?
 
The starter is new truck isn't. I'm recharging the battery just to check if it's the roto start. It does spin a little more when glow plug is out, so I was thinking it could be battery. We'll see! Thanks!

I usually use pull start!

Lol hold on, I think yesterday when I charged the roto battery, I accidentally discharged it instead! Oops! I'm gonna see how it works when charged and will get back. Thanks!

I hate when that happends i have the Traxxas E-Z Start & actually thought something was wrong with my starter to find out the batt needs recharging
 
I love when it's only a battery issue. You always start thinking it is something huge, so finding out it's only a battery issue is a relief.
