My engine is stuck!
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 //Pimp |
RE: My engine is stuck!
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?

ORIGINAL: dirtnap4u2_101 I had the same problem on my Jammin x1 CRT.

After break-in it still did it but not as bad. Try loosening the glow plug? 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! //Pimp |
RE: My engine is stuck!
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. |
