Default correct engine rotation

Hows everybody?

Hey guys. I'm working to restore an old 2.5 TMaxx for a friend and need to know which way the one-way bearing goes on. I am installing an Ofna roto start. If you are looking at the engine from the front of the truck, which way should the flywheel be turning while the engine is running? Clockwise or counter clockwise? Thanks... post u later!

Sorry to make it complicated but do you mean "on the engine shaft first" or "into the roto start first"? I think you mean on the engin right?

on the easy start the writing faces torward the engine?? i just had my easy start off....and it says it on traxxas if you put in on backwards...all it will do is not turn the motor...the roto will spin but motor wont crank....if it does that reverse it....but i am positive writing torward engine...thats how it is on easy start anyways...
