Condor
Right so a bit confused I have a Condor self build has been ran in shortly after run in glow plug failed so replaced it... though yes time for some fun then there was lots of reving but not any movement being transferred to the wheels so thought maybe differentials where the problem but they seem to be free moving and no issue but now on top of the fact it won' move the pull start no longer recoils itself when there is compression on the engine..... I am so confused and in need of advice apart from give up and get a better car. 😂😂 hope sombody can help 🙈

it needs to be diagnosed,,,, a good place to start is the coil, check out youtube there should be some videos explaining how to re tension them, and then remove the motor and physically check the drive line and see where its slipping

Ok, well not sure about the recoil, but it is usually a broken spring. As for not moving, depending on the age, the clutch is a common culprit. It is a centrifugal clutch, and so spreads as the rpm increase. What happens if that the clutch material loses friction. Or the clutch if frozen to the pins on the inside. I'm going by my traxxas 4tec, so yours may be different.
