Hey Guys the motor turned over once or twice before the gears turned to dust. I do not believe that I am dumb whan it comes to rc. Yes I am a rookie but No dummie. I do apprechate all of the help from you guys. I did have the glowplug loose. If I loosen it anymore I will have to just remove it. I am not nocking the sts I believe that its an awesome motor I just think it has some bugs that needs to be worked out. Like the starting system. today I will try the hpi gear and let you know how that worked. Thanks again.
