I can't get my nitro quake's .21 to start. I went over this jump and landed hard on the wheels and was enough to get the pressure line stuck in between the clutch bell gear and spur gear! It is now only like 2"inches long, could that be why it won't start anymore? I just put a new glow plug in like 3 tanks ago whats wrong?:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

engine bearing could be shot.starter shaft could also be shot.your clutch nut could have melted,but thats very rare(even though i did it once)

Would those things make it just stop starting all of a sudden? I mean the truck only stopped because the fuel line jammed the gears and the engine then cut out a few seconds after sitting there. Will I have to take apart the whole engine?:confused:

Alright, thanks for trying though, I just don't want to put money into an older truck like this I just wish it would run. :(

I had a bad bearing in my clutch bell. It stopped me cold. I was running on a motocross track and all of a dudden it died out. It wouldn't run for anything after that. When I took it apart thinking the motor quit on me. I found out it was a bad bearing and now it's back to normal.
