Can confirm, hairdryer does wonders. Thanks for the motivation, seeing that piston turnover is something else.

My traxxas had been sitting since 08, locked up wouldn't turn over at all applied this technique with the help of a heat gun. Worked like a charm thanks for the video it was a tremendous help.

My nitro buggy had been sitting in the loft for about 10 years the motor was stuck and to my surprise just a hairdryer on high heat for 4-5 mins was enough to free it after using wd40 a couple hours before hand in the barrel. So thanks very much for the tips helped a lot I didn’t wanna have to remove the motor. Only thing I’d I can’t find the radio so I’m gonna have to see if I can find a cheap one for it. Any suggestions for a cheap radio and receiver ? I have hyper 7

Yes sir. Heat is the key here. To hell with the zip-tie method (i mean it wortks if you are unable tyo get any torque from the shaft....otherwise heat the HELL out of it and then turn it over. Then, clean your sh*t out and lean that MFer out because that's a clear sign of being run too rich for too long period of time. Fact.
