Dudes, I need your advice
I was trying to start my car (mugen mbx4) and I noticed that I couldnt turn the motor over with the starter box, the starter box would either just stop once It hit the flywheel or it would barely crank over the motor once and then stall. I checked the battery I use for the starter box and it is charged up fine........
here comes the bad news
I kept trying to star the buggy and then I saw some smoke coming out of the starter box, dudes.... I think I burnt out the motor, the smoke smelt VERY bad!
I'm currently using the daratrax 1/8 starter box heres a link:

has anyone else had this problem? should I replace the motor or just get a whole new (and better) starter box? I dont know if this box is a bandaid and would appreciate any help
thanks in advance
oh, yeah... I almost forgot... the motor in by buggy is a novarossi and has 2+ gallons through it, so its not like its brand spankin' new and has massive compression (although it still has plenty)
