I run an Ofna box with twin 775 motors and a Lipo to power them, Motor pre heated, plug out and it just locks up at tdc.

This really has me stumped as to what is going on.
Any ideas on what is going on and how get it fired up again is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
what fuel do you run ?

possibly your engine is gummed up with caster oil....
