Hi everyone nice to meet you. I'm new to the helicopter world and would appreciate any help I can get. I brought a new wasp v3 on e-bay and it worked great. I had the transmitter on and was plugging in the battery when the transmitter got turned off. By the time I got the transmitter away from my grandson & got it turned back on the blades had hit the floor. When I reset it and plugged the battery in then pushed the throttle up all that happens is the motor turns the main gear but not the blades or the rotor. When I turn the main gear by hand opposite from the way the motor is turning it the blades & rotor turns. With the motor on the main gear turns but not the belt pulley.HELP!!

Check for a pin or something similar on the main gear to the main shaft that it is present and not sheared. I have not seen this particular model, but if it has a a one way bearing between the main gear and main shaft (or main gear and tail rotor drive gear for driven tails) check that it is engaging one way, but not the other. You may have to remove the main shaft and main gear and re-install it so the teeth on the one-way bearing (if installed) are oriented correctly. I've seen the teeth in some one-ways overtravel and not engage in either direction.

Beat of luck.
