I think this is the longest I have seen between posts about problems with the Roto starter. Must have been about a week or two.

If it is a rotostart 2, you can open it up to see if gears are stripped. There were some initial problems with them and if you call HPI they will replace the unit for you.

Could be the one-way. Is the back of the engine all oily? Is oily a word?
