maybe replacing the spark plug might help ?

yea a glow pluv change would help. also the tune could be way off. try going back to factory settings and see what happens

Did it sit with fuel in it? If so, dump the old fuel and then flush the tank with a little new fuel, dump it again, then try starting it again.

Is the fuel you're using fresh, or at least the same exact color as it was when you originally bought it?

are you priming the fuel line? you can do this one of two ways, cover the Exhaust tip with your finger and turn over the motor, watch the fuel line to see if fuel is getting to the carb. they other way you can do it (i use this method) take off the line that runs from the top of your fuel tank to your exhaust. take the line off, and blow in it. you should be able to see the fuel in the line all the way to the carb. as Greywolf mentioned, make sure you have fresh fuel!

the fuel is the same colour as when i got it , i always prime the fuel line , shes trying to start but just not getting there i guess a new spark plug and a roto star and new fuel might help

Try replacing the fuel line between the carb and engine, I've seen fuel get gummed up in there before. If it does, it can restrict the fuel flow just enough to stop it from starting. If you don't have fresh line, you can try pulling the old one and then pinch and slide from one end to the other. I worked on a Revo that was doing this, the lines looked good, until I pinched it and squeezed some gummed up fuel out.

Sounds like a glow plug. Just because a plug glows doesn't mean it works. The voltage applied to a plug will always cause it to glow, white hot even and may still not work. If the platinum on the coil is not present anymore it will fail to run at all because the platinum causes a reaction with the methanol which is what keeps it glowing without a voltage applied. The coil can also be deformed and touch the side inner side wall of the plug rendering it useless. look carefully as it can sometimes be hard to notice.
