T-maxx not cranking over.

[T-maxx kid]

Sorry for the repost but, My T-maxx sounds like an electric motor when it tries to start, it kinda cranks once then stops but the electric sound still goes until I let off the EZ start button.The glow plug is good, and everything else is good but I don't know what could be wrong with it. If any body is expirencing this or knows how to fix this please let me know. I've only been into nitro rc's for about 6-7 months :\

If your plug is good then it must not be getting fuel.. Did you try another plug. What about your carb settings?? Did this just happen all of a sudden??? Do you run a feul filter... we will need some more info.. I'm new but it shouldn't be anything big...

Sorry , I just reread the post and I had missunderstood..
So your saying that the piston is not turning over????

Sounds like the owb (one way baring) is either bad or just needs to be cleaned. Start by taking off the starter the you will see the owb take it off that shaft its on. There is little print on one side when you put it back on make sure the print faces the motor. Anyway take it off and soak it in denatured alc or some other kind of cleaner for a bit. Take it out and dry it up. Clean that shaft and around it to. You could even rough that shaft up with some sand paper. Just put it back together print side in and it should work i hope. If that dont work you might need a new one. Owb that is.

That noise is the electric motor on the ez start spinning a one way bearing that is not catching. Do as your told and you'll be up and running in an hour. Don't forget to use blue lock tight on the engine screws or you'll be down with a stripped spur gear in less than an hour.
