I never had a problem running this motor and everything is free and not stuck has surface rust on screws, since I went electric has been in the shelf in garage , can be cleaned up I literally just grabbed it took pictures was always taken care of and ran good without constantly stall but do tot he nature of the hobby sold is and expect buyer to have knowledge of working on these rc cars and get going by themselves, they can be tedious and high maintenance.. no remote complete car ready only ..what you see in pictures is what’s included , pullstart was new when last used..
