Hello -

I attempted to start my new Savage X 4.6 RTR monster truck today, but I was unable to start the engine. My rotostart just seemed to spin freely without turning the engine over...has anyone else experienced this problem? When the rotostart did spin the engine, it didn't sound right...it wasn't the smooth sound of and engine turning over.

I also noticed that the wheels only turn slighlty to the left and to the right while the wheels are on the ground. If I lift the tires off the ground, both wheels seem to turn just fine.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Yes check your one way bearing. Did the engine turn over at all when you tried? If it did, it is not a backwards one way bearing, possibly bad gears in the roto-start. But sounds like its the one way. Also, I have a savage as well and the front wheels will do that when it is just sitting, unless you upgrade to a high torque steering servo. It will turn just fine with the stock servo when you are driving it.
