Ok here is my Rancho To start off the thread in pics is the axial I had in it just pulled it out as I thaught the clutch was bad but it happens to be the engine,when I pulled it fuel pored out and when I turn flywheel by hand it sounds like grinding so I will put the .27 infinity back in that I never used.

hmmmm....you say a grinding sound when you turn the flywheel? was it the roto start? when you are turning the engine over is it turning the clutchbell at all and making the wheels want to move?

i have never had a axial but i do have that .27 infinity in my exceed buggy that i bought and i have to say that thing kicks some butt!!! way BETTER then that VX engine i got!!!

I hooked a roto start up to my vx.18 and i hated it....the pull start to me is way better....

So when you took the roto out did you see that any of the gears were missing?

The gears looked ok did not see anything missing but when I took it out turning engine by hand I did not hear or fill grinding but when I put it back on the grinding came back and it was hard to turn maybe the roto start was locking up the engine.
