So I bought the revo last year, and I've had no major issues until yesterday. I've never even had to change out the glowplug but once. it ran great yesterday, but when i went to fire it up again, nothing. It would not start. Is this because of an air leak? I changed the glow plug for good measure, but it did nothing for me.
 
Air leaks don't usually cause engines to not start... just causes them to not run right. Are you using the easy start? If so, you could try taking the plug out, plugging the blue wire into it, hold the plug against the engine head, then run the ezstarter to make sure it glows. Could be a bad connection somewhere causing it not to light.
 
I had a similar issue. My glow plug lead was stripped and it was shorting out against the head and not heating up the plug
 
Mine was stripped right where it goes under the plastic on top of the cooling head. It got really bad before I taped it and I just bout a new lead on ebay for like 2 dollars
 
the same thing happen to me if i was u i would buy 3 of so of them it will happen alot i had a t maxx it always happen so try that
 
I think I'm going to reinforce it with electrical tape before I put it on. I think the trick is to loosen the plastic before you put it on
