Just bought my first nitro stampede and have had nothing but problems. I took it to the hobby shop after blowing my differential it ran fine when I took it there now I can't get it to start. Its not cranking as fast as it was before and now I can't tighten the glow plug down all the way or it wont crank at all like to much compression in the chamber. Anyone have any ideas please help.

It's probably flooded. Take the plug out and empty it.

I took the plug out, it was dry. So confused at this point.

Ez start charged?

Did you buy new or used? A used rig presents a different headache than a new 1

Just clean the chamber and also the plug and then try again...there may be problem with the plug...

when you say you can't tighten the plug all the way down, does it just keep turning infinitely, or does it stop before you can screw it in all the way? and can you take out the plug and post a pic of its threads? You might be cross threaded, or something of the sort.

Pretty sure he meant it will not turn over unless the plug is loosened to relieve some compression.
If it’s a fairly new mill/engine, pre-heating it with a hairdryer to relieve some pinch will help the starter turn the engine.
