possible problem

[racing basher]

i have a losi 8ight and it tuned perfect, so i know its not a tune problem, but yesterday i was going to drive it around a little and i put it on my starter box. started right up, i let it idle and i reved a little but if i were to pull the trigger for full throttle it would rev up and die. I'm thinking its the glow plug but i can test this theory till friday, what do you think

So you took it out to run it, tuned it perfectly, and then had this problem later that day? Or was it tuned from a previous session? I don't know your experience, but in my personal experience here in Northern Kentucky it's almost impossible to set my needles in one tune and expect it to even run day to day, let alone be tuned perfectly. It could be possible that you need to adjust your needles to match your current temp/humidity/etc...I'm not criticizing, but what makes you think the glow plug is the problem? It very well could be, but did you take it out and note something in it’s appearance or was this a guess?

sounds like its leaning out too much.

glow plug was the problem, i live in az, its always the same temp, humidity, etc except in the winter so its perfect for rc cars, but it is a little lean i might have an air leak because i have TONS of smoke but my dad ran it today and it was readin 310 so I'm goin to richen it tommrow and see if it goes down if not I'm not going to bother with it and get a new motor
