Default EZ start wont work

Ok i have owned my Revo for a few months and it has seen a lot of use. But today my EZ start just stopped working. When i try to start the car the EZ start cycles a half turn and stops, its like there is a rock in it or something. So i went to take out all the screws to pull apart the EZ start to look inside but it wouldnt come apart. So whats the deal? Oh also the Motor light on the igniter isnt lit but the Glow Pug one is.


Please Help

Check that your abttery if FULLY charged.
Clear your engine of any fuel.
Take out the plug and see if the e-z will turn it over. Then report back to us.

Ok this is what i have tried so far:


I checked to see if it was flooded, it wasnt

I tried turning the fly wheel but it wouldnt spin, it wasnt because of compression (it seemed jammed)

So what do i do?

Also my spur gear is catching when i roll the car backward. Also i tried spinning the fly wheel really hard and it moved for one rotation and then it got rock hard again...


Can i send it to Traxxas, if so will they replace anything free of charge. Are they really picky with warrenties?

HERES WHAT HAPPENS
you need to find the prob first ....im sure if you pull off the crank cover you'll see the rod or something is not..... WELL ..... where it should be.lol

is so you can call traxxas and send it in and they should swap it unless they see like a SCREW FELL IN THE MOTOR or some thing that you have done.

but.. if it looks to them that you have ran it to hard they might give you a badd time..... but in the end will swap it out and say this is the last time we do this for you.

just my idea>>>>>>.anyways
