Default Sounds like there is a bad connection

Somewhere! My guess is a wire or connector is broken inside the E-Z start unit or it could be a broken wire on the truck itself! You can try taking it apart and see what is wrong or you can buy a whole new setup on Ebay for pretty cheap ($15-25).

Or you can do what I did on my TRX Pro and use a glow starter! They work better IMO anyway!

ive took it apart and i thought i solved the problem,there was a wire that needed soldering but when i put it back together it still wont work.

also there is a third light inside the unit that lights up,?do you know what its for.

Default ez start?

My ez start broke the same way yours did. Just call traxxas and they will send you a new one. If they want you send yours back tell them you will when you get the new one. They shouldn't charge you. For now use a glow starter for the plug and the ez start to just spin the motor. The battery will last longer that way anyway.

They know there is a problem with these units. Try and call them, it can't hurt.

That is a good idea if you have a good 2.5 motor. My experience has been that you can pull till' your arm falls off and the motor won't start. It is hard to tune, so the e-z start make it a little easier. The easiest would be to install a better motor, like a sirio .18. A direct drop in that is a breeze to tune and get running.
