    New to RC, Engine won't start, tried all options.

    Thank you both! Guess I'll order some glow plugs as well. I knew the risks of getting a nitro buggy, now it's time for me to take them, ahah. Seriously though, many thanks! I appreciate all of your kind help for a newbie, it seriously means so much. Without that info I'd probably be stuck...

    Alright. Wooo, more buying things! My new igniter has one of those tester things built in, and it says it's alright. Is there any way to see if the glow plug is the issue in this case, i.e. it won't keep running? And thank you! I know that now, and it definitely wasn't helped by the fact I...
