After much consideration, and much advice from you knowledgable guys I have finally gone a done it...
I bought myself a Revo today, Oh boy Oh boy Oh boy...
This bad boy is something else, I feel like a little kid again..
After admiring the beast for about 30 mins and after giving the battery a bit of a charge i set about getting my beast to work..
LOL, It took me at least an hour to get the engine to turn over, I am already an expert in clearing a flooded engine, as i thought i was flooding it all the time as the damn thing wouldn't start...
Eventually after going through the start up proceedure about 7-8 times I realised i must be doing something else wrong... It turned out my mistake was a very simple one, I hadn't put enough fuel in the tank, i though i'd filled it up to the neck as instructed but i had only filled it about 3/4 of the way up... DOh...
Once i topped up the fuel tank it started immediatly.... YAY .. success..
I have only done tank 1 of the run in procedure before darkness prevailed and i had to pack up for the day, went through the after run process...
Question on after run process if i may...Q: i have purchased some after run oil.... my manual states i should spray wd40 into the glow plug well, My Hobbie shop reccomended the after run oil instead but neglected to inform me how to use this... I have for now just put a couple of drops into the glow plug well and then turned the truck upside down and used the electric starter to turn over the engine for 10secs then repaeted this process two more times..... IS THIS CORRECT...
Anyways i am so so so so pleased with my truck, can't wait to got out tomorrow and finish of running in that bad boy...
Thanks for all your help so far guys and i look forward to posting you some more in the future..#
