i ordered a tmaxx 3.3 and it wont freaking start any tips

Please don't take this the wrong way BB... but you really need to start providing more information in your posts if you expect help. As it stands now, I've seen many threads from you which are single run-on sentences with no specific information. It's like we have to pull details out of you in order to have any freaking clue wtf the problem is.

Now, back up, take a deep breath, and put down the Monster energy drink. What have you done so far adjustment-wise, and what are the symptoms you are seeing? I assume you have read through the manual and you are set to factory settings? C'mon, work with us here.

ok factory settings it wont turn over like it just sits there when i press the button on the ez start the motor light is on but not the glow plug light i didnt prime it

 

[RC Addict]

First off--if you didn't prime it how do you know that isn't the issue? If there is no fuel in the carb it will not start.

 

[backyard.beast]

like i didnt prime it it wouldnt turn over then i primed it it wouldnt turn over then it flooded then i cleared it out it still wouldnt start i called traxxas he told me what to do i tried that it still wouldnt start

 

[RC Addict]

Have you verified that the Easy Start works? Personally, I would ditch that damn blue wire and use a glow plug igniter.

Speaking of glowplugs, have you verified that yours works?

 

[powerbar]

what did traxxas support tell you to do ? did you check all connections ? is your battery still good? you might want to use a glow plug igniter to reduce the tress on your easy start batt, since i hacked off my blue wire i havent exp. too many problems

 

[backyard.beast]

yep my glow plug works but idk about the blue wire i changed between 3 plugs

I am really not sure just what you are trying to say. How did you verify your plug works? If you changed the plug three times are all three good? Does that mean you have NOT verified that the blue wire has juice?

 

[backyard.beast]

well I'm not sure about the blue wire but like if i plug it up it doesn't glow I've tried 3 plugs like this

 

[RC Addict]

Well you have to ground the plug to the side of the head while you do the test of the blue wire. It doesn't work the way a glow igniter does.

 

[backyard.beast]

what does that mean

ground the plug

 

[PILL]

what does that mean

ground the plug

Connect it to the head so that it can use the metal in the head and chassis to complete a circuit. You might wanna read up on some basic electrical stuff.

He stated earlier that he only had one light lit on his EZ-start wand and that the glow plug light was not lit, if both lights are not lit then it will not start, you either have a bad glow plug or a bad connection to the glow plug, fix that for starters, no pun intended, Also if your battery sucks it won't have enough juice to turn the motor over and keep the glow plug lit so that it can fire up, as others have said if you ditch the blue glow plug wire for a glow plug igniter it will be easier on your battery and turn over a lot better...

A lot of members will look at threads because of the titles. It is stated in the rules to title the threads accordingly so those that are familiar with that would be most likely to add a post to it. "Help" tells us nothing, and if everyone labeled their threads that way, no one would get replies anymore.

Help

I have really been trying to help but deciphering some of these posts is getting "difficult"...

ok just to let you no, the traxxas easy start has a 1 in 5 chance it will not ignite the glow plug, its the black handle part that has the problem, if you just bought yout rig and its only got 1 green light on, thats the problem i bought a brand new rustler and it only had 1 green light coming on, i pulled my hair out, cuz with a igniter it fired right up, you need to send your ez start handle to traxxas for a replacment or just go to ur lhs and pick one up ther $10 or get one off ebay for like 3-8 bucks and wait for shipping.,. sucks but it happens, get a pull start

 

[2 steppen]

or just buy a 20 dollar ignitor and have all your problems over with?

 

[XxVASSAGOxX]

$20? my lhs store has then $7.99 lol

 

[2 steppen]
