broken mt2?
 
Hi there I have a HPI MT2 nitro car and i cant seem to get it started. Ive checked all the usual things you would check and i was just wondering is there anything else that i could look to see if it is working properly?
Thanks.

when you put fuel into the tank you have to "pump" it into the engine carburetor. its in the manual on how to do it if you have a roto start or pullstart

on that one i would check your slipper clutch, and see if it needs to be tightened.
