Hi everybody!

Last day, I got my new Thunder Tiger ST-1! (the car has the same engine as the Monster GT 4.6) So, I wanted to start the broke-in procedure.... So... I had my glower, my starter box, my Daytona 25% fuel and the batteries... I started to pull the starter, and it was stuck!![X(] My pullstarter cant turn it and my starterbox cant turn it, I has tried to wrench the flywheel, but its realy realy stuck!.... The engine had fuel in it, and it was not overflowed, so whats tha problem?...

Im not a beginner, I allready have; one Cen GST, one Traxxas T-Maxx PICCO .26, one HPI Savage .25 and one Kyosho Mad force.... and they all work out well... So, I know how to start, break-in and take care of the engine!

I hope that u can help me with my problem cuz I want to start the ride soon....

Thanks

I had the same problem on my Jammin x1 CRT. I couldn't get it to turn over, yep it was stuck like yours, I loosened up the glow plug and kept trying to get it unstuck with a screw driver and it finally came out. After break-in it still did it but not as bad. Try loosening the glow plug?

Hi dirtnap4u2_101!

Yea, I tried to lose the glow plug and pull the flywheel around, but it was still stuck, and I had tried and tried but it's still stuck.....

yeayea, thanks for the help anyway!

Try heating it up, hair dryer or heat gun, and it should loosen up enough to break loose. It's much easier to start a warm fresh motor than a cold one. Get it up to like 130 or more with a heat source, and that should help you alot.

Might have to pull engine out of vehicle, grab some sort of a channel lock and use that on the flywheel. Use this method as a last resort... just remember to put something on the jaws of the channel lock to protect the flywheel.

It might actually be a broken conrod. I highly doubt it, but if you do what the others said:
heat it up, loosen glow plug, and use a screwdriver to try to unstick flywheel, and it still doesn't go, open her up.
