Default Starter box problem

I'm trying to start a Duratrax Raze buggy using a Duratrax starter box. The starter wheel engages the flywheel but won't turn the engine over even when using a fully charged 12 volt lawn mower battery for power. The starter stalls. The engine is not flooded. Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks

Heat it up with a hair dryer or heat gun then loosen the glow plug 1/2 of a turn and immediatly tighten after car starts. The engine ust be stuck at top dead center. Pop it back to bdc with a flathead screwdriver.
