Also trying twisting the engine a bit to see if it'll loosen it. You might just have to use a lot of elbow grease though...

Never fails..

if you use (red) locktite in that screw , you have to use a blow torch to melt the locktite down

Thanks to all..

The hair dryer technique worked the best of all.. In the end I got the engine out. When I twisted it long enough it broke.. Cleanly.. I read on the hpi website that you make all most any engine Roto-Start.. So I removed it.. There right I put it on an old engine I had on a truck and it works quick.. I recommend it to all. When I finally get O.S. I will do it to that one as well..
