right just got my brand new hyper 7 tq rtr, got it out of the box and tried pulling the pull start, only to find that its stuck, i cant turn the engine over by hande either. am i missing somehting??? what should i do??? need help. as you could imagin i was not very happ. lol. any help much appreciated.

Try taking your pull start off and check and see if it is bound up inside itself (mine just did the same thing yesterday and that fixed it) Was the glow plug in when you tried to turn it over by hand? If so take the glow plug out then try to turn it over by hand. If it doesnt I would return the thing because your engine might be seized. Also I would recommend getting a Torque Starter or a Starter Box. It's much easier than a pull start (mine is on order) You can purchase them from [link]http://www.nitrohouse.com[/link] or [link]http://www.rcplanet.com[/link]. Thats where I found mine at. Hope I helped ya out a little.

thanks mate, no the glow plug werent it it, i hadnt even put batteries in it. literally just got it out the box 10 mins ago! do you think if i take it apart they wont take it back?

ya if its that new i would just return it and not bother with it. cause if u do mess with it what are the chances of u putting it back or not....

Its ok now, just heated the head with a hair dryer and its all good.

I can't beleive you guys.He said it was new,what would you expect from a new engine.
It WILL stuck at TDC.You did good heating it up and try to do so everytime at least for 1G.
Be careful though since the pull starter won't take much abuse on a brand new engine.

thanks alot. i will do.

right one more thing, i need some shock oil. what should i get?? thanks alot.

With stock piston holes i use 20wt-35wt.If you drill the holes to 1.5mm then you'll need 40wt-50wt.
I race with 20wt oil with my hyper 7 and stock pistons in a bumpy track.
If it's smooth i would use 35wt front and 30wt rear.
BUT you won't know the difference if you don't try it out.
You will probably not notice any difference between 30 and 35 but you will if you go up or down by 10wt.

ok thanks alot.
