revo not running right - 01.30.2006, 11:12 AM

I just have a stock revo. The motor won't turn over. Any clues on what I should check? When I use the EZ starter I push the button both light light up but nuttin happens.

This happened I think because i rinsed the revo off in the sink.

Check if all the ez-start wires are intect, as well as every other wire in the truck.


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

Could be a vapor lock. Take out the glow plug, turn the truck upside down and hit the EZ start. If it is a vapor lock, with the glow plug removed the motor will spin(and dump the excess fuel onto the ground). Re-install the glow plug(test it to make sure it is good) and start it up. If the glow plug is bad and you tried to start it for a bit(turning it over), then it most certainly is a vapor lock.

The problem was intermittent at the starter. I checked every wire and did alot of wiggling, couldn't get to work.

So I replaced it with a new one.... And of course the one I took off now works. But that was the problem bad starter.

I'm learning water is real bad for these things. I fried the opti drive electronics also. Atleast I'm getting to know the local hobby shop guy real well...
