New to hobby, hello all.
I have a Tmaxx 2.5 that I bought used. Ran it a few times and no problems. All of a sudden it will not start. When I try to start with the EZ start the light is not on for the glow plug. From what I read in the manual this should light up when you're attempting to start just like the motor light. The motor light does in fact light up. So I assumed it was the plug and rushed out to the hobby shop and spent my $7 for a new one. Same thing, won't start.
Excuse my ignorance as I'm new to this but when I try to start it it does sound like it wants to run. The flywheel is moving and all seems like normal but will not turn over. I don't know if this matters but there is fuel spitting out of the exhaust after I try to start for a few times. Is that normal? The guy at the hobby shop said either the plug or the starter. Any other experienced help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a loss
