yea i dont use nitrothane. the top of the piston is sticky is this normal? he had no problems before he could get it to move past the pinch but he said its gained pinch now,
will it hurt anything if i put it back together and heat it up and try starting it? when i was turnin it over by hand i got it to 225
and btw my names douglas. i drove the losi but a lot of guys did
