a Hobbico starter doesn't have enough torque to start a new 30 sized engine and only well worn engines larger then a 30. you can partially remove the glow plug to allow compression to 'bypass' and then re-tighten it after it gets started. I've used this many times helping newbies in the past. after the engine gets broken in the Hobbicos will most often start them (30's not 60's).
