help can't get it to keep running

[Boogieman]

hey hey thanks for dropin by, but anyways I'm new the this nitro world and i decided to get into it so i went out and bought me one, now i can't get it to stay running, so far the best i have got it to keep running was to keep the glow stick attached to the plug but once i remove it it dies . any ideas????

Bad glow plug would be my guess... A little more info wouldn't hurt... What is it??

its the vertex .26 engine in the vtx b1r, which glow plug do i need hot medium or cold? oh yeah another thing is when i touch anything metal on the buggy with my ignitor or wiggle the antanna on the remote the buggy twitches, it has a 2 channel fm radio, could dat have something to do with it?

Your fuel/air mixture is too rich.

You would get more responses if you post this question in the general RC section

As for you question in your comment, For the most part run medium glow plugs. It is natural for any nitro car to freak out when you touch metal to metal on the car with the receiver and transmitter on. Wiggling your antenna shouldn't do that but I don't use FM radios and recievers.

Hope this helped
