on my RC controller i have a little switch that says "rev" for reverse...does your controller have the same thing? if it does switch it to the other side...thats the only thing i can think of doing...

im guessing he means that the engine is actually spinning backwards.

rustler: how do you start your truck?

how i start it is, first i take the plug out flip the car over and spin the engine over to get after run oil out. then i put the plug back in with the washer, then i pump fuel into the carb and put the glow plug heater on. then i just pull the pull start and if it dont start i put my ginger on the exhaust tip

hmm, thats weird then that it would run backwards. your truck doesnt have reverse right? or does it? have you taken the pull start off lately?

theres your problem, you must have the one way bearing and pull start backwards or something.

Ericheller is right. Put the one way bearing back in the pull start or buy another one and it should be fixed
