Hi new owb fitted rotastart checked the handset that controls the rotastart is working But when I try to start car it just spins on the shaft making a zzzzzzzzz sound not a clacking sound it's a hpi firestorm
 
I have a Firestorm and have taken the engine apart, I don't think the G3.0 has such a setup :)
 
From the above comment with collar / screws holding it on.

If you take the owb off and put it on the other way does it do anything differently?
 
Hi took off heatsink where do the 3 brass shims go on top of the engine I can't remember thanks
 
You can download the exploded view diagram from the HPI site but as a quick answer I'm sure that the three shims go under the part that holds the glow plug and then the head holds it all down.
 
Many thanks will double check tomorrow
