“Spark...” force of habit, sorry. The engine has GLOW ! I guess I was right originally, that the one way bearing is bad. I’ll try cleaning it.

I cleaned the OWB. I used brake cleaner and then used bar & chain oil to lube it since I’m out of MM oil AND 3-in-1!


...put it all back together (again, for the 10th time) and it’s doing the same thing. I’m a racer, I know that Traxxas stuff is a waste of my time and money from having two stampede 4x4’s (that are now up on a shelf), and this thing is a Traxxas... and I’m screwing around with it for some reason! I can’t spend any money on this. I’m not giving up on this, just taking another break.
