Hi, i was trying to remove the glow plug wire, but i don't know how to. I've already read the manual, but to be honest can't find how to remove it. Can someone give me a tip ? Hope so .... :cheers:

The glow plug wire should just pull right off the top of the glow plug and then disconnect completely just behind the rear body mount. If you have a hard time pulling the wire off the glow plug, get yourself a pair of needle nose pliars. Hope this helps..

I had issues with mine when it was new on my trx2.5 maxx. With my stumpy fingers, I couldn't get a good enough grip on it, I had to use needle nose pliers.

Side note, if you stop using the wire and use a normal external glow heater, you will get easier and more consistent starting. Your ez-start battery will also last quite a bit longer.
 
better still, ditch the lot and put a pull start on, much easier to feel when something's not rigfht when starting, but yes a plain glow starter is much better

I totally agree. Him speakum truth, Kimosabee.
 
If you want to keep the ez-start, I suggest LC3 plugs, the tip is pointed so it's easier to get the wire on and off.

Also, traxxas makes an attachment that goes on the blue wire that gives you a more finger friendly grip.
