So I'm older guy and bought my first nitro rc a couple months ago (volcano s30). I've probably only ran the car 8 times. From the very beginning I had problems with getting it started, i broke the pull start almost immediately, purchased a drill starter thinking it would be easier to start, well I was wrong, for some reason the engine would flood as so as I try to start, and after cranking and cranking un flooding and cranking I'd get it running well the last time I ran it I noticed metal shavings coming out by the starter plate. But it still started and ran. Well after putting it up for a week I brought it back out and tried to start it up and now the drill just spins, the engine hardly even makes a noise or the fly wheel spins a little but the drills spining as normal but the engine isnt doing anything.. I took the engine out took the starter off all gears look fine, I pulled the one way bearing out cleaned it , that looks fine. Idk what else to do besides buy a new engine. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas what's happened before I purchase a new engine. And take it easy on me guys. I'm like 30years old I always wanted a nitro rc as a kid so I went and got one, I've done alot of research I've been searching for 2 weeks now trying to find an answer to my problem but can't seem to find any post that fit my scenario.
