I just bought my first Nitro Truck yesterday, the T-Maxx 2.5 and I'm curious about some things. The salesman broke the truck in for me using the method shown on the DVD. Used 5 tanks, did the 1/4, 1/2 throttle, etc. He did some basic tuning, and said he would fine tune it after I run several tanks through it for no charge of course! Now I plan to do my own tuning eventually after I get used to it. Anyway, yesterday as I was playing with it, it died probably 3 different times when there was fuel in the tank. Is this normal for the first couple of hours? After the third time it died, I checked the glow plug, and sure enough it was gone. The salesman gave me a free one, said I would probably need it before he fine tuned it. Anyway, would a glow plug going bad cause it to die?? I'm only assuming it would since it fires the cylinder. Also, I noticed it was a little sluggish after about 20 or so minutes of playing with it, checked the glow plug again, and it was fine. I let it cool off for a few, and it ran great after that, started popping wheelies again. Do you think this sluggishness is from getting hot, or rather a tuning issue? I don't have a temp checker yet, but I'll get my hands on one in another day or so. Last but not least, the storage maintenance issue....when I put the vehicle up for a day or two, is it really necessary to take the glow plug out after all the fuel in the carbs are used up, and put WD-40 in the cylinder, or is that technique used when the vehicle is put away for several days or more??? Sorry for all the questions, just want to take care of my investment. Thanks
