I bought 2 Troy Built bits at Lowes and one of the was flaky. The other one worked fine.
 
i used 2 different troy bilt bits too, its something to do with the speed at it cranks....too fast or not fast enough, or it floods it....I don't get it...

tried everything. choke, no choke, slow spin fast spin....the odd thing was once I put the pull start back on it would fire up 2nd or 3rth pull
 
OK my brother had same thing we tried everything it would not start finally we put a new motor on guess what it wouldn't start either I broke the end of the starter shaft off we had to put the pull start back on it started right up so I am thinking the roto start was shorting out some how even tho we had spark I will never get one just my opinion tho

Yes what a bummer, already sent mine back.. it was a great concept
 
Mine wouldn't start for months when i first got it. (pull start mind you) and it turned out to be the crappy carb. Replaced the carb and i can pull start it in 2 or 3 pulls every time.

Do you have a stock carb?
 
rampage not starting..added the drill starter

i bought my rampage brand new an it wouldnt start either...i broke the rope start pulling on it so much....i to bought the killer rc drill starter...still couldnt start it....u just now replaced the carb on mine with the walbro 1107..i was told the factory carb is junk...with the new carb i still cant start mine...im at a loss...not sure what to do....if all else fails i guess i can take it to a near by hobby shop an ley them fix it....any help would be appreciated...im new to having one like this an trying to learn the tricks
 
Well I haven't touched the needles...I was told they were set from the factory...an yes I have a spark on my plug...but I've had this issue from the get go...that's why I bought a new carb...I was told the factory carbs were no good on these trucks
 
Well I broke the rope starter...an installed a drill starter from killer rc....can't remember what my rpm is on my cordless drill...but it seems to spin it over fast enough..compression sounds ok....but like I said I've had this prob from day 1...I've had it started one time...maybe ran it 15 to 20 min maybe...but since then can't start it again...not sure if I need to put the rope starter back on or what...I've read on here that I'm not the only one with starting issues with this truck...I like the truck...just wanna be able to enjoy it
 
I was able to start by makita 2100 rpm brushless drill. Bosch 1700 rpm drill couldn't.
