hey i have a t maxx with a lrp z.28r spec 3 engine. it starts and idles very nicely. but i can't move it at all it dies instantly with any kind of throttle. i tried all kinds of stuff but I'm stumped and very mad. any help would be much appreciated thanks.
 
Let it idle and let me know what the temp gets up to.
While it's idling, what's coming out the exhaust? Almost nothing or lots of dripping?
 
i had the same problem saturday. changed the fuel lines, exhaust gasket, glow plug, and it ended up being a clogged up fuel filter. try those things.

edit: i would remove the fuel filter first, as that is a easy/free one.
